VEGFA and posterior cortical atrophy: To this end, we explored (i) the effects of SNHG12 on PCa cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis; (ii) the underlying mechanism; and (iii) the impact of SNHG12 on angiogenic tube formation and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion in a human PCa cell line (i.e., DU145).
