Recently, lncRNAs and miRNAs have been verified to be implicated in the onset and development of multifold neoplasms, concerning their functioning on downstream molecules.36, 37 Moreover, lncRNAs seemed to penetrate into all aspects of gene regulation, including epigenetic inheritance, transcription, post‐transcription and translation.38, 39 Interestingly, Jun Huang et al40 reported that lncRNA MALAT1 mediated autophagy of retinoblastoma cells through acting on miR‐124. The gene discussed is MALAT1; the disease is retinoblastoma.
