Furthermore, BC200 RNA contains seed sequences for miR-138, a miRNA that was reported to inhibit proliferation, migration and invasion in cervical cancer cells (Li et al. 2016; Zhou et al. 2016); indeed, in cervical cancer cells, increased BC200 expression was associated with decreased miR-138 levels (Peng et al. 2018). This evidence concerns the gene BCYRN1 and cervical carcinoma.
