Moreover, the miR-342-3p mimic abrogated the increased expression and secretion of VEGFA induced by LINC01503 overexpression in CRC cells, while the miR-342-3p inhibitor reversed the decreased VEGFA expression and secretion induced by LINC01503 knockdown in CRC cells (Fig. 6F–6I). The gene discussed is LINC01503; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
