It was previously reported that Sp1 could directly promote the expression of VEGFA, and that miR-212-3p could inhibit angiogenesis and proliferation of glioblastoma (Liu et al. 2015; Chen et al. 2018), and ZLM-7 could increase the expression of miR-212-3p in BC cell lines. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is glioblastoma.
