To further probe into whether the oncogenic role of SNHG4 in HCC was dependent on miR‐211‐5p, we knocked down miR‐211‐5p in SNHG4‐downregulated Hep3B cells with miR‐211‐5p inhibitor, and upregulated miR‐211‐5p in SNHG4‐overexpressed MHCC‐97H cells with miR‐211‐5p mimics. This evidence concerns the gene SNHG4 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
