Because ITGB1 is the direct target of miR-493-5p in NSCLC cells, we determined whether NR2F1-AS1 competitively binds to miR-493-5p and consequently decreases miR-493-5p-mediated ITGB1 deregulation and/or translation suppression. The gene discussed is NR2F1; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
