In addition, the data from this current study supports the speculation that upregulated lncRNA MBNL1-AS1 or inhibited miR-301b-3p suppresses CSC proliferation, invasion, migration, drug resistance, sphere formation, and tumor formation in NSCLC by upregulating TGFBR2. The gene discussed is TGFBR2; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
