miR-9 [35] inhibits the expression of extracellular signal-regulating kinases ERK1, ERK2, and MMP-9 by inhibiting the CXCR4-CXCL12 signaling pathway, and the long-chain noncoding RNA LSLINCT5 [36] also plays an important role in ovarian cancer metastasis by regulating the CXCR4-CXCL12 signaling pathway. Here, CXCL12 is linked to ovarian cancer.
