For instance, miR‐145 could induce glioma cell apoptosis by targeting BNIP3 and Notch signalling,7 while miR‐543 could suppress glioma in vitro and in vivo.8 MiR‐129‐5p is an essential member of miR‐129 family.9 Dysregulation of miR‐129 family members has been investigated in various cancers such as human prostate carcinoma,10 breast cancer,11 lung cancer,12 gastric cancer.13 Some researchers have also explored the mechanisms of miR‐129 family members in affecting the glioma cell processes. This evidence concerns the gene BNIP3 and glioma.
