It has been reported that miR-654-5p targets HAX-1 to regulate the malignant behaviors of CRC cells [18]; thus, we detected the expression of HAX-1 by the western blotting in HCT116 and SW480 cell lines transfected with sh-LINC01124 or cotransfected with sh-LINC01124 and miR-654-5p inhibitors. The gene discussed is HAX1; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
