demonstrated that lncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 (MALAT1) functioned as a molecular sponge for miR-23b-3p, diminishing its inhibitory effects on the expression of ATG12, which led to the development of autophagy-mediated -MDR in cancer cells to cisplatin and vincristine (59). This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and cancer.
