ABHD11 and cancer: STAT3 can be targeted by miRNAs in human cancers.47, 48, 49 More importantly, STAT3 can act as both transcription factor and target of lncRNA, thereby forming a feedback loop.50, 51 Therefore, we investigated whether ABHD11‐AS1 positively regulated STAT3 by sponging miR‐1301‐3p, thereby forming a feedback loop.
