In addition, lncRNA-NEAT1 directly targets the expression of many prometastatic genes and tumor microenvironment-related genes (such as STAT3, WNT7A and VEGF-A) by interacting with miR-361, while miR-361 can inhibit tumor proliferation, invasion, stemness and paclitaxel resistance (40). The gene discussed is STAT3; the disease is neoplasm.
