Core Tip

Core Tip: In the current study, we investigated the differential lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory axes in HepG2 and SNU449 under Sorafenib treatment. The study identified lncRNA-miRNA regulatory axes leading to increased expression mRNA with positive (SMAD7, TIRARP, TFAP4, FAXDC2 and ADRB2) and negative (VEGFA) therapeutic effects in HepG2 and SNU449 under Sorafenib treatment.
