Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be involved in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, few studies have focus on the dyregulation and the role of lncRNAs in HBV-related HCC. We performed a comprehensive analysis of lncRNAs expression profile in HBV-related HCC tissues samples using deep sequencing. We revealed that a total of 1242 lncRNA transcripts (983 up-regulated and 259 down-regulated) and 1841 mRNA transcripts were significantly differentially expressed in HBV-related HCC patients. Pathway and gene ontology analysis showed that they are involved in the biological process related to HCC development by cis-regulation of co-expressed protein-coding genes. 10 candidate lncRNAs were selected and validated with quantitative real-time PCR analysis. Furthermore, we found that one of most down-regulated lncRNAs, n346077, could suppress HCC cells invasion and migration in vitro. Our findings provide an overview of aberrantly expressed lncRNAs in HBV-related HCC and will be useful for further functional studies of lncRNAs in HBV-related pathogenesis.
