Interestingly, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) such as DANCR and LINC00152 sponged miR‐135a‐5p and miR‐16, respectively, to reverse the inhibitory effects on glioma progression by promoting Bmi‐1 expression and Bmi‐1‐mediated effects on glioma cell proliferation and invasion [80, 81]. Here, BMI1 is linked to central nervous system cancer.
