It was reported that lncRNA antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) promotes cervical cancer carcinogenesis via the PI3K/Akt pathway [11], and lncRNA colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) enhances cervical cancer progression by suppressing expression of p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) [12]. Here, CDKN2B-AS1 is linked to cervical carcinoma.
