FOXA1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Further studies revealed that MCM3AP-AS1 promotes HCC cell growth by targeting the miR-194-5p/forkhead box A1 (FOXA1) axis, MCM3AP-AS1 promoted FOXA1 gene expression and FOXA1 restoration rescued MCM3AP-AS1 knockdown induced proliferation inhibition, G1 blockade and apoptosis in HCC cells [27].
