Long non-coding RNA NEAT1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation through the regulation of miR-129-5p-VCP-I{kappa}B

This study provides new insights into the pathogenesis of HCC, as well as identifying new target genes for diagnosis and treatment. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The results provide strong evidence that upregulated NEAT1 promotes the proliferation of cancer cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and this regulatory mechanism depends on the microRNA (miR)-129-5p-valosin-containing protein-IB axis. The study also indicates that NEAT1 could be a potential therapeutic target for HCC.
