The HBV Specially-Related Long Noncoding RNA HBV-SRL Involved in the Pathogenesis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the major risk factors for HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) occurrence with a diverse role in the pathogenesis of HCC. More works need to be performed to elucidate a more thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms involving in HBV-induced HCC, although some mechanisms such as genome integration have been reported. In the present study, aberrantly expressed lncRNAs were identified between HCC tumor tissues with or without HBV infection. Among these molecules, HBV specially-related long noncoding RNA (HBV-SRL) was further found to correlate with poor prognosis and a shorter overall survival time in HCC patients with HBV infection. Additionally, HBV-SRL was found function as oncogene by upregulating the NF-κB2 expression. These data suggest that
