In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), BZRAP1-AS1 is high expression and knockdown of BZRAP1-AS1 inhibits cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis in HUVEC (Wang et al., 2019b), which suggests BZRAP1-AS1 may play a role in promoting tumorigenesis. This evidence concerns the gene TSPOAP1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
