In parallel, we revealed that the proliferation, migration, apoptosis promoting effects of pancreatic cancer cells by FGD5-AS1 could be reversed by miR-15a-5p, implying that FGD5-AS1 exerted its pro-tumor function by sponging miR-15a-3p (Fig. 12, Fig. S8). The gene discussed is FGD5; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
