HK1 and colorectal carcinoma: Additionally, MCF2L-AS1 is found to be enriched in tissues of CRC, which enhances the glycolysis of CRC cells via MCF2L-AS1/miR-874-3p/FOXM1 ceRNA axis and upregulates GLUT1 and LDHA (63). It has been elaborated that lncARSR can sponge miR-34a-5p and promote hexokinase 1(HK1)-mediated glycolysis in CRC (62).
