In another study, we found that the expression of miR-196b-5p was partially controlled by hypomethylation in its promoter region and up-regulated miR-196b-5p promoted NSCLC cell migration, proliferation, and cell cycle through directly targeting the tumor suppressors, GATA6 and TSPAN12 (Liang et al., 2020). Here, TSPAN12 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
