In HCC (Tu et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2019), the antiapoptotic effects of LINC00707 are via mediation of the activity of the ERK/JNK/AKT pathway in Hep3B and SNU449 cells or via interaction with miR-206 to regulate CDK14 expression in HepG2 and Huh7 cell (Figure 3). Here, MAPK8 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
