Long Non-Coding RNA MACC1-AS1 Is Involved in Distant Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Surgical Resection.

BACKGROUND We explored the role of MACC1-AS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS Measurement of preoperative plasma levels of MACC1-AS1 was performed by qPCR, and the comparison between the HCC and Control group was performed by unpaired t test. The overexpression of TGF-ß1 in SNU-182 and SNU-398 cells was confirmed by qPCR.
