SGK1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: For instance, Zheng et al. found that the C allele of rs1061451T/C is a protective factor against non-small-cell lung cancer, and MIAT could act as competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), which compete with protein-coding mRNAs for binding to miRNAs [57] via miR-133a-5p, modulating the MYO1B, WNT9A, and SGK1 gene expression levels [63].
