Moreover, analysis of the expression of AGAP2-AS1, miR-9-5p and THBS2 in the tumor depicted that mice bearing sh-AGAP2-AS1-treated ACHN cells showed reduced expression of AGAP2-AS1 and elevated expression of miR-9-5p; however, THBS2 expression was restored in the following further oe-THBS2 treatment (Fig. 6C). The gene discussed is THBS2; the disease is neoplasm.
