Abstract Objectives: Exosomal long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) might facilitate epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in liver cancer after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), thereby enhancing tumor cell invasiveness and migration. This study investigated the prognostic role of plasma exosomal long noncoding RNA-plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (lncRNA-PVT1) in TACE treated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Plasma exosomal lncRNA-PVT1 was evaluated via qPCR before and after TACE. Hepatoma cell behavior was investigated in different HCC cell lines. A lncRNA-PVT1 plasmid was synthesized and overexpressed, and si-lncRNA PVT1 was transfected into poorly invasive cells to reveal its influence on cell characteristics. The lncRNA-PVT1–FoxM1 interaction… More >
