With the use of starbase (http://starbase.sysu.edu.cn/), the binding site between BBOX1‐AS1 and miR‐361‐3p was presented in Fig. 2E. Subsequently, it was found that miR‐361‐3p was down‐regulated in CRC cell lines (Fig. 2F, P < 0.05, P < 0.01). This evidence concerns the gene BBOX1 and colorectal carcinoma.
