Up-regulation of SNHG6 activates SERPINH1 expression by competitive binding to miR-139-5p to promote hepatocellular carcinoma progression.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to assess the roles of small nucleolar RNA host gene 6 (SNHG6) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, and establish the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulation mechanism for HCC therapy. SNHG6 is one of the host genes in small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), which make a difference in the development of human cancers. SERPINH1 is a gene encoding a member of the serpin superfamily of serine proteinase inhibitors with miRNA predicted by TargetScan and DIANA Tools. SNHG6, serpin family H member 1 (SERPINH1) and miR-139-5p expression levels in HCC tissues and cells were determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Migration and invasion of HCC cells were measured by transwell assay. Cell cycle analysis was determined by using flow cytometry. 3-(4,5-dim
