In addition, one study found that in lung cells, ITGBL1 is a target of miR-576-5p and promotes non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell migration and invasion through Wnt/PCP signalling [41]; moreover, ITGBL1 plays a role in the pulmonary fibrosis process through the positive feedback of TGFβ1-lncITPF-ITGBL1 [42]. Here, ITGBL1 is linked to pulmonary fibrosis.
