Moreover, a positive association between the mRNA expression levels of LINC00152 with KLC2, STK39, and PHF19 was detected in human HCC samples of the TCGAdataset (LIHC cohort [4,17]: R = 0.189, R = 0.301, R = 0.292, each p < 0.001, respectively), confirming that their expression could be regulated by a LINC00152-driven ceRNA network. This evidence concerns the gene STK39 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
