Likewise, the expression of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) PVT1, the host gene of miR‐1207‐5p was found to be approximately 9‐fold and 20‐fold higher in colon cancer HT‐29 and HT‐116 cells, respectively, compared to normal human colonic epithelial cells, HCoEpiC (Fig. 2B). Here, PVT1 is linked to colonic neoplasm.
