    Summary

    Purpose: Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) presents a significant challenge due to its high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. However, the precise regulatory mechanisms underlying its tumorigenesis remain unclear.

    Methods: Various approaches were employed to predict the binding sites between LINC00978 and several miRNAs and SOX12.

    Results: The study revealed a significant upregulation of long non-coding RNA00978 (LINC00978) in LIHC, with its high expression correlating with a poor prognosis. Furthermore, silencing LINC00978 suppressed the growth and metastasis of LIHC cells. Mechanistically, it was discovered that LINC00978 acted as a sponge for microRNA-125b-5p (miR-125b-5p) and identified SRY-Box Transcription Factor 12 (SOX12) as a direct target gene of miR-125b-5p. Importantly, the study demonstrated that the suppressed effects of LINC00978 silencing on LIHC cell growth and metastasis could be reversed by inhibiting miR-125b-5p and overexpressing SOX12.

    Conclusion: The findings suggest that the LINC00978/miR-125b-5p/SOX12 axis could represent a promising therapeutic target for LIHC.

    Keywords: liver hepatocellular carcinoma, LINC00978, miR-125b-5p, SOX12, cell proliferation, migration, invasion.
