The Fragment HMGA2-sh-3p20 from HMGA2 mRNA 3′UTR Promotes the Growth of Hepatoma Cells by Upregulating HMGA2
Abstract High mobility group A2 (HMGA2) plays a crucial role in the development of cancer. However, the mechanism by which HMGA2 promotes the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. Here, we explore the hypothesis that HMGA2 may enhance the growth of hepatoma cells through a fragme...
