However, the involvement of these molecules in chronic liver diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and viral hepatitis, has only recently been considered in scientific research. While extensive studies on the pathogenesis of the development of HCC from hepatic fibrosis have been conducted, their regulatory molecular mechanisms are still only partially understood. The underlying mechanisms related to lncRNAs leading to HCC from chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis have not yet been entirely elucidated. Therefore, elucidating the functional roles of lncRNAs in chronic liver disease and HCC can contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms, and may help in developing novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HCC, as well as in preventing the progression of chronic liver disease to HCC. Here, we comprehensively review and briefly summarize some lncRNAs that participate in both hepatic fibrosis and HCC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms21082883","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,21]],"date-time":"2020-04-21T04:49:38Z","timestamp":1587444578000},"page":"2883","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["LncRNAs Act as a Link between Chronic Liver Disease and Hepatocellular Carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7850-5509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Young-Ah","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Catholic University of Daegu School of Medicine, Daegu 42472, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kwan-Kyu","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Catholic University of Daegu School of Medicine, Daegu 42472, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8552-6049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sun-Jae","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Catholic University of Daegu School of Medicine, Daegu 42472, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"48","DOI":"10.1007\/s12272-018-01104-x","article-title":"Role of non-coding RNAs in liver disease progression to hepatocellular carcinoma","volume":"42","author":"Heo","year":"2019","journal-title":"Arch.
