miR-17-5p is also regulated by other lncRNAs or target other mRNAs and then, promotes tumorigenesis, for example, MIR17HG promotes colorectal cancer progression via miR-17-5p [37], miR-17-5p promotes angiogenesis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma via targeting BAMBI [38]. This evidence concerns the gene BAMBI and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
