MNX1-AS1 regulates the expression of RAB1A in bladder tumor cells by competitively binding with miR-218-5p, thereby promoting the proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of bladder tumor cells, which contributes to the growth and metastasis of bladder cancer cells (Wang et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene RAB1A and urinary bladder carcinoma.
