MALAT1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: MALAT1 could enhance hepatocarcinoma cell growth.1 The cSMARCA5 inhibits the growth and migration of HCC cells and is a potential therapeutic target.2 The circAKT3 is associated with HCC recurrence and mortality.3 In the present study, we analyzed the expression of lncRNAs, circRNAs, and mRNAs in HCC recurrence after LT to obtain the differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs, DElncRNAs, and DEcircRNAs, aiming to identify early-phase biomarkers to predict HCC recurrence after LT.
