In the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, Zhao X et al (2018) reported that LINC00511 sponges hsa‐miR‐29b‐3p, acting as a competing endogenous RNA, to regulate VEGFA expression.13 This finding sparks the inspiration that LINC00511 might regulate the glioma genesis via the competing endogenous RNA regulation. Here, VEGFA is linked to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
