Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common carcinomas all over the world, with high mortality and low survival rate. Notably, many studies have showed that a variety of molecules play vital roles in the progression of HCC. Therefore, it is urgent to find reliable biomarkers to diagnose HCC and developing novel strategies are required for the effective treatment of patients with HCC.This study obtained an HCC cohort from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). For prognostic analysis, the TCGA cohort was grouped according to different median boundaries. The key module associated with HCC was adopted by Weighted Gene Co-expression Network analysis (WGCNA). We also analyzed the survival ability, functional enrichment, and potential binding proteins of key lncRNAs. The expression of hub lncRNAs in HCC tissues and cell lines was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry were applied to detect the cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle. The interaction betweenThe green module is the key module in HCC.This study suggested that
