Our result further supports previous observations that DUXAP8 (Liu et al., 2021) and LINC00511 (Hu et al., 2020) act as ceRNA for miR584-5p together with miR195, further contributing to HCC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, and DUXAP8 has also been reported to be ferroptosis-associated lncRNA (Xing et al., 2021). This evidence concerns the gene DUXAP8 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
