The Long Intergenic Noncoding RNA UFC1, a Target of MicroRNA 34a, Interacts With the mRNA Stabilizing Protein HuR to Increase Levels of β-Catenin in HCC Cells

The lincRNA-UFC1, a target of microRNA 34a, promotes proliferation and reduces apoptosis in HCC cells to promote growth of xenograft tumors in mice. It interacts directly with the mRNA stabilizing protein HuR to regulate levels of β-catenin in HCC cells.
