Li et al. found that the expression of lncRNA DSCAM-AS1 in cervical cancer specimens was negatively correlated with miR-338–3p expression, while upregulation of DSCAM-AS1 decreased miR-338–3p expression in SiHa cells, which, in turn, promoted the growth, cycle, and invasion of cervical cancer cells, suggesting that lncRNA DSCAM-AS1 could sponge adsorption of miR-338–3p and thus could play a pro-cancer role in cervical cancer (Li et al., 2022b). Here, DSCAM-AS1 is linked to cancer.
