ABSTRACT
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent and common malignant tumors worldwide, accounting for 85-90 % of primary liver cancer cases. Accumulating evidence shows that long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) play regulatory roles in HCC occurrence and progression. However, little is known about the biological role of the LncRNA "E2F1-regulated inhibitor of cell death" (ERICD) in HCC. Our study revealed that ERICD is highly expressed in HCC and correlates with TNM staging; high ERICD levels were associated with poor patient prognoses. We revealed the targeting relationship between ERICD and miR-142-5p for the first time by bioinformatics prediction and further verified the targeting relationship between ERICD and miR-142-5p using a luciferase reporting experiment. In summary, our results showed that ERICD promotes the occurrence and metastasis of HCC by downregulating miR-142-5p expression. Our study provides a target for new potential therapeutic strategies for HCC.
