CYTOR and colorectal cancer: In cancers (e.g., ovarian, gastric, and colorectal cancer), linc00152 acts as a ceRNA and sponges various miRNAs, especially miR-125b, miR-193a, miR193b, miR-612, miR-138, miR-216b-5p, miR-153-3p, miR-1182 or miR-497, in cancer cells, and thus, increase the expressions of downstream genes targeted by miRNAs, and consequently, these increases promote cell proliferation, metastasis, and tumor development.
