For example, lncRNA PTENP1 can up-regulate the expression of PTEN and other target genes by acting as ceRNAs of miR-17, miR-19b, and miR-20a, thereby inactivating PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway to inhibit the HCC growth, proliferation, and migration and induce apoptosis of HCC cells [56]. The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
