摘要
With the deepening of the genome project study,attention on noncoding RNAs is increasing.Long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs)have become a new research hotspot.A growing number of studies have revealed that lncRNAs are involved in tumorigenesis and tumor suppressor pathways.Aberrant expressions of lncRNAs have been found in a variety of human tumors including hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).In this review,we provide a brief introduction to lncRNA and highlight recent research on the functions and clinical significance of lncRNAs in HCC.
