Long non-coding RNA highly up-regulated in liver cancer promotes exosome secretion.

Background: Highly upregulated in liver cancer () is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) which has recently been identified as a key regulator in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. However, its role in the secretion of exosomes from HCC cells remains unknown.

Aim: To explore the mechanism by which promotes the secretion of exosomes from HCC cells.
