H19 and central nervous system cancer: For example, lncRNA H19 mediates breast cancer metastasis by sponging miR‐200b/c and let‐7b,28 lncRNA UCC accelerates CRC progression by sponging miR‐143.29 NEAT1 also sponges miR‐449b‐5p/c‐Met axis to promote glioma pathogenesis.26 In this study, we confirmed miR‐193a‐specific binding with NEAT1 by luciferase assay and validated a negative correlation between NEAT1 expression and miR‐193a in CRC samples.
