FOSL2 and colorectal carcinoma: Next, to identify the downstream target of the SNHG17/miR-339-5p axis, we analyzed the mRNA targets of the SNHG17-ceRNA network predicted by StarBase and the target genes of miR-339-5p predicted by TargetScan and identified that FOSL2 is a potential downstream target of the SNHG17/miR-339-5p axis in CRC (Fig. 4f).
