For example, according to previous reports, the lncRNA Miat family promotes the proliferation, invasion, and migration of HCC cells by sponging miR-214 (21); hepatoma cell propagation, migration, and chemoresistance could be virtually suppressed by lncRNA SNHG16 upregulation by functional cavernous hsa-mir-93 (22). This evidence concerns the gene MIAT and hepatocellular carcinoma.
