Based on the central of ceRNA hypothesis that miRNAs play as communication language, we identified miR-15a-5p, which is a well-known tumour suppressor in the pathogenesis of HCC, could target both RACGAP1P and RACGAP1. And the direct interaction between miR-15a-5p and these paired genes was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter assay and MS2-RIP assay, indicating that RACGAP1P regulates RACGAP1 expression at least partially through competitive binding with miR-15a-5p as a ceRNA. The gene discussed is RACGAP1P1; the disease is neoplasm.
