The long noncoding RNA HOTAIR activates autophagy by upregulating ATG3 and ATG7 in hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

The long noncoding RNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) has been reported to be an oncogene that influences tumor cell development and that correlates with prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Accumulating evidence indicates that autophagy plays a significant role in tumorigenesis and cancer cell survival, but whether HOTAIR modulates autophagy in HCC cells remains unknown. In this study, HOTAIR...
