ESRP1 and ovarian cancer: A 2020 study identified that pervasive overexpression of ESRP1 in ovarian cancer is dependent on the expression of circ-0005585, which acts as an miRNA sponge for the ESRP1-specific miRNAs miR-15a/15b/16 and miR-23a/b, by expressing mutual miRNA targets as the 3′UTR of ESRP1 [72].
