Alu RNA induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in colorectal cancer via NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β release [122], while BC200 promotes EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma by sequestering miR-6834-5p to upregulate thymidylate synthase [123]. Here, TYMS is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
