For example, linc01207 regulates ARHGAP11A and promotes the progression of non-small cell lung cancer by secreting mir-525-5p (Zhang et al., 2022); long noncoding RNA, SNHG10, promotes the malignant progression of colorectal cancer cells by targeting mir-3690 (Zhang et al., 2021a). Here, SMIM31 is linked to colorectal cancer.
