LINC00921 and hepatocellular carcinoma: As anticipated, overexpression of linc00921 inhibited phosphorylation of β-catenin, resulting in increased expression of E-cadherin and decreased expression of N-cadherin in HCC-1937 and MDA-MB-231 cells, while co-transfection of miR-9-5p mimic reversed this phenomenon (Fig. 5g).
