As found in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, NEAT1 checked cancer development through miR‐101‐3p.52 In pancreatic cancer, NEAT1 was a p53‐inducible lncRNA essential to suppress transformation.53 The paradoxical outcome mirrors labyrinthine controlling networks of NEAT1 and provokes our greater interest in NEAT1. This evidence concerns the gene TP53 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
