The CBL (Casitas B-lineage lymphoma; encodes ubiquitin ligase E3), PDCD6 (programmed cell death 6), ROCK1 (Rho-associated protein kinase 1), SNAI1/2 (Snail family transcription repressors 1 and 2), TWIST1/2 (Twist family BHLH transcription factors 1 and 2), ASPP (apoptosis-stimulating protein p53), iASPP (inhibitor of apoptosis-stimulating protein p53), SPHK1 (sphingosine kinase 1), NRP1 (neuropilin 1) genes are the previously discovered target genes of this miRNA in different types of cancer. This evidence concerns the gene TWIST1 and cancer.
