FER1L4 could exert a tumor suppressive effect on colon cancer and partially acts as a ceRNA suppressing miR‐106a‐5p expression.21 LncRNA CCAT1 functions as a ceRNA participating in proliferation and apoptosis of human HCT‐116 and HCT‐8 cells.22 Zhou et al23 found that lincRNA‐ROR promotes the progression of colon cancer and holds prognostic value due to its association with miR‐145. This evidence concerns the gene LINC-ROR and neoplasm.
