LncRNAs expression signatures of hepatocellular carcinoma revealed by microarray.

Aim: To analyze the expression profiles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Methods: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and matched adjacent non-tumor (NT) liver tissues were collected from 29 patients with HCC, immediately after liver resection, between March 2011 and July 2013. The diagnosis of HCC was made based on histological examination.
