Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common human cancers. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been demonstrated to play an important role in regulating tumor development. The current study aims to explore the specific role of LINC00520 during HCC progression. The present study identified that LINC00520 was upregulated in HCC tissues and indicated poor patient survival. Overexpression of LINC00520 promoted HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, while LINC00520 downregulation led to the opposite effects. Besides, LINC00520 knockdown was found to inhibit tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, LINC00520 acted as a sponge of miR-4516 to regulate SRY-related high mobility group box 5 (SOX5). In addition, the inhibition of miR-4516 partly reversed the inhibitory effect of LINC00520 silencing on HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In conclusion, the inhibition of LINC00520 suppressed HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion through mediating miR-4516/SOX5 axis. Therefore, our study provides a basis for the development of treatment strategies for HCC.
