Fig. 7From: LINC00221 silencing prevents the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma through let-7a-5p-targeted inhibition of MMP11The mechanism involved LINC00221 in regulating the progression of HCC. LINC00221 was upregulated while let-7a-5p was downregulated in HCC cells, and highly expressed LINC00221 upregulated MMP11 expression by competitively binding to let-7a-5p, thereby promoting HCC cell viability, migration, and restraining cell apoptosisBack to article page
