A recent study by Zhao and coworkers demonstrated that the expression of miR-192-5p is downregulated in CRC, and the knockdown of miR-192-5p can compromise the tumor suppressive effect of the sh-lncRNA, FTX, indicating the anti-tumor effect of miR-192-5p in CRC (Zhao et al., 2020a). The gene discussed is FTX; the disease is neoplasm.
