X-inactive-specific transcript of peripheral blood cells is regulated by exosomal Jpx and acts as a biomarker for female patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Long noncoding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) X-inactive-specific transcript (Xist) was reported to affect cell proliferation and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there are rare reports focusing on the diagnostic evaluation and regulatory mechanism of Xist expression from peripheral blood cells of patients with HCC
