FOXM1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: In addition, other studies found that the forkhead box (FOX) transcription factor M1, a downstream target of the Wnt signaling pathway, can promote the expression of CCAT2; conversely, CCAT2 can also competitively bind to miR-34a and co-regulate the expression of FOXM1, thereby promoting the proliferation of HCC cells.
