Ad iv., for the interplay between NEAT1 with miR‐139‐5p, authors proved TGF‐β1—commonly upregulated in several cancer types regulating cancer progression and metastasis (Bierie and Moses, 2006)—being a downstream target of this miRNA which is upregulated by NEAT1‐induced sponging of miR‐139‐5p leading to promoted HCC proliferation and invasion (Tu et al., 2018). Here, NEAT1 is linked to cancer.
