UCA1 and cervical cancer: Wang and Zhu (2018) demonstrated that lncRNA NEAT1 serves as a miR-101 sponge in cervical cancer and its upregulated level is associated with poor prognosis and poor clinical-pathological factors, implying that NEAT1 might be a target for the treatment of cervical cancer. Yan et al. (2018) performed a luciferase reporter gene analysis, which showed that there is a binding site between the UCA1 lncRNA and miR-206, and the UCA1 is upregulated in the tissues of cervical cancer patients.
