For example, upregulation of SNHG5 may induce the angiogenesis in acute myelogenous leukemia 15; On the other hand, SNHG5 can regulate miR-205-5p expression and contributes to development of renal cell carcinoma16; furthermore, SNHG5 may function as an oncogenic LncRNA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma via targeting miR-1179 17. Here, SNHG5 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
