LncRNA FGD5-AS1 functions as an oncogene to upregulate GTPBP4 expression by sponging miR-873-5p in hepatocellular carcinoma

The long non-coding FGD5-AS1 (LncFGD5-AS1) has been reported to be a novel carcinogenic gene and participant in regulating tumor progression by sponging microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the pattern of expression and the biological role of FGD5-AS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains largely unkno...
