By upregulating the expression of interleukin 17 receptor D (IL17RD) via miR-193a 70, solute carrier family 38 member 1 (SLC38A1) via miR-138 71, KRAS via miR-193a-3p 72, and centrosomal protein 55 (CEP55) via miR-195-5p 73, NEAT1 promotes CRC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and inhibits apoptosis. Here, CEP55 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
