The predicted binding sites for MALAT1 in the miR‐363‐3p sequence are illustrated in Figure 2A. qRT‐PCR results showed that miR‐363‐3p was down‐regulated in the tumour specimens (Fig. 2B), but MALAT1 was overexpressed in the same tumour tissues (Fig. 1A), suggesting a significant negative correlation between MALAT1 and miR‐363‐3p (R = −0.544, P < 0.01, Fig. 2C). The gene discussed is MALAT1; the disease is neoplasm.
