lncRNA AGAP2-AS1 is up-regulated in HCC and correlates with HCC progression. Comparing differences in the expression of AGAP2-AS1 between (a) HCC and matched tumor-adjacent tissues and (b) HCC cell lines and the immortalized hepatic cell line LO2. c The expression of AGAP2-AS1 in large size (≥5 cm), metastatic tumor tissues, recurrent tumor tissues, high histological grade tumor tissues was significantly increased. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
