The LINC01138 Drives Malignancies via Activating Arginine Methyltransferase 5 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Our study have demonstrated LINC01138 acts as an oncogenic driver that promotes cell proliferation, tumourigenicity, tumour invasion and metastasis through physically interacting with Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in HCC cells. In order to investigate the related signaling pathways regulated by LINC01138 or PRMT5, we performed the unbiased transcriptome profiling using high-throughput RNA sequencing in SMMC-7721 cells transfected with si-LINC01138 or si-PRMT5. Here we showed the LINC01138/PRMT5 axis is an ideal therapeutic target for HCC treatment. Illuminate the related signaling pathways and biological processes regulated by LINC01138 or PRMT5 in human liver cancer SMMC-7721 cells through high-throughput sequencing data.
