These results suggest that lncRNA CASC7 suppresses to malignant behaviors of breast cancer by modulating miR-21-5p/FASLG axis.AbbreviationslncRNAs: long non-coding RNAs; ceRNA: competing endogenous RNA; CASC7: cancer susceptibility candidate 7; miRNAs: MicroRNAs; MAPK10: mitogen-activated protein kinase 10; FASLG: Tumor Necrosis Factor Ligand Superfamily Member 6; FAS: Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily Member 6. Here, MAPK10 is linked to cancer.
