Previously, Li et al. found that MBNL1-AS1 inhibited the development of NSCLC through the regulation of miRNA-301b-3p [15], while Wei et al. demonstrated that MBNL1-AS1 inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis in bladder cancer cells through the miR-135a-5p/PHLPP2/ FOXO1 axis [29]. The gene discussed is FOXO1; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
