For example, lncRNA XIST acts as a molecular sponge of miR-194-5p to regulate the expression of MAPK1 in liver cancer cells14; in gastric cancer, SNHG6 enhances cell proliferation and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) by decoying miR-101-3p.15 In this study, we demonstrate that SNHG6 was overexpressed in IPA tissues, and it could repress the expression of miR-944 as a ceRNA. Here, SNHG6 is linked to Ito hypomelanosis.
