Based on bioinformatic data, it seems that SNHG7, ASMTL-AS1, and LINC02604 can act as molecular sponges, through the reduction of hsa-let-7d-5p and hsa-mir-423-5p, which leads to the increase of target mRNAs, specially RSM and CPA4 mRNAs which are related to the development and progression of colorectal cancer through the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis, and response to treatment. The gene discussed is ASMTL-AS1; the disease is colorectal cancer.
