Contrarily, it was shown that miR-98-5p is downregulated in ovarian cancer tissues, and its mitigative effects on cancer are hampered by overexpressed lncRNA DSCR8, which is known to promote cancer progression through a highlighted lncRNA DSCR8/miR-98-5p/STAT3/HIF-1α axis [70]. This evidence concerns the gene STAT3 and cancer.
