Moreover, the tumor suppressor function of RBM24 appears to be mediated by miR-25, which is the most upregulated miRNAs in RBM24-induced cells and suppresses NPC progression by targeting the oncogenic lncRNA MALAT1 (metastasis associated with lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1) for degradation [28]. Here, MALAT1 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
