It is reported that LINC01123 sponges miR-199a-5p as a ceRNA to negatively regulate its expression in NSCLC cells (Hua et al., 2019); similarly, in NSCLC cells, miR-199a-5p is reported to be adsorbed and repressed by lncRNA PVT1 (Wang et al., 2018). Here, PVT1 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
