LncRNA ADAMTS9-AS2 is identified downregulated in BLCA and related to ADAMTS9, Zhang et al. showed that the lncRNA ADAMTS9-AS2 inhibits proliferation and elevates autophagy and apoptosis through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway (Zhang et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene ADAMTS9 and bladder transitional cell carcinoma.
