In conclusion, CERS6-AS1 promoted the oncogenicity of PDAC by serving as a competing endogenous RNA to sequester miR-15a-5p and increase FGFR1 expression, which highlights the potential of the CERS6-AS1/miR-15a-5p/FGFR1 pathway as an effective target for cancer therapy. The gene discussed is CERS6; the disease is cancer.
