 HOXD-AS1 binds to miR-326. a The potential binding sites were identified between HOXD-AS1 and miR-326 using bioinformatics analysis tool, starbase v2.0 (http://starbase.sysu.edu.cn/mirLncRNA.php). b Over-expression of HOXD-AS1 inhibited the levels of miR-326 in SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells. c Cells were transfected with miR-NC or miR-326, and miR-326 transfection remarkably suppressed the levels of HOXD-AS1 in SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells. d Luciferase reporter analysis suggested that HOXD-AS1 directly targeted miR-326. e The relationship between HOXD-AS1 and miR-326 in HCC tissues was evaluated. f The level of miR-326 was measured by qPCR method in 48 cases of HCC and adjacent non-cancerous tissues. **P<0.01 compared to normal. g Representative association between miR-326 and I-II or III-IV stage was shown. *P<0.05 compared to I-II. h Relative levels of miR-326 in patients with distant metastasis or without metastasis. *P<0.05 compared to no metastasis. i The level of miR-326 in four HCC cells and LO2 as detected by qPCR analysis. **P<0.01 compared to LO2 cell
