In CRC, as the endogenous sponge of miR-26a, LINC01296 regulates the expression of mucin1 (MUC1) under the catalysis of polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 (GALNT3), and then regulates the activity of PI3K/AKT pathway, thus promoting the progress of CRC [38]. This evidence concerns the gene GALNT3 and colorectal carcinoma.
