Identification and validation of potential key long noncoding RNAs in sorafenib-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

ABSTRACT: As the first-line treatment, sorafenib has been used for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the chemoresistance commonly restricts to the clinical efficiency. In this study, we intend to investigate the genome-wide expression pattern of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in sorafenib-resistant HCC. Herein, we identified thousands of differentially expressed lncRNAs in sorafenib-resistant HCC cells by high-throughput sequencing compared to the parental. Besides, based on GO (Gene Ontology) term enrichment analysis, these differentially expressed lncRNAs are mainly related to binding and catalytic activity and biological regulation of metabolic processes in both the sorafenib-resistant Huh7 cells (Huh7-S) and sorafenib-resistant HepG2 cells (HepG2-S) compared to the parental cells.
