For example, sp1 can induce lncRNA TINCR expression in lung adenocarcinoma32; and HOTAIR expression can be regulated by c‐Myc in gallbladder cancer.33 Our previous study has confirmed that AGAP2‐AS1 expression can be activated by the transcription factor RREB in pancreatic cancer.26 Nonetheless, in this study, we carried out bioinformatics analysis and found that FOXP1 may also induce AGAP2‐AS1 transcription. This evidence concerns the gene AGAP2 and familial pancreatic carcinoma.
