Since that publication additional studies have reported finding other ceRNAs of PTEN. TNRC6B was identified as a ceRNA of PTEN with depletion of TNRC6B reported to decrease PTEN mRNA and protein expression in the prostate cancer cell lines DU145, 22RV1, and BM1604 and increase cell proliferation in DU145 and PC3 cells (Zarringhalam et al., 2017). This evidence concerns the gene PTEN and Familial prostate cancer.
