The lncRNAs MAFG-AS1, lncRNA EIF3J-AS1 and LINC00284 upregulate MafG to promote proliferation and metastasis and inhibit apoptosis by sponging miR-744-5p and miR-211-3p in lung adenocarcinoma, prostate cancer and oral squamous cell carcinoma [71, 73, 74]. Here, MAFG is linked to Familial prostate cancer.
