LINC00839/miR-144-3p/WTAP (WT1 Associated protein) axis is involved in regulating hepatocellular carcinoma progression

The present work aimed to explore LINC00839 expression level and its function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and identify the downstream molecular mechanisms. qRT-PCR (Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR) and western blot were employed to detect mRNA and protein levels. Functional i...
