CIZ1 and cancer: For example, Cip1 interacting with zinc finger protein 1 (Ciz1) was recently shown to regulate the Gap 1 (G1) to synthesis (S) phase (G1-to-S) transition in cancer and lncRNA differentiation antagonizing nonprotein coding RNA (DANCR) was shown to sponge miR-214-5p, upregulating its target Ciz1 and increasing NSCLC cell proliferation [38,118].
