The interaction between STEAP3-AS1 and STEAP3 enhances the nuclear translocation of β-catenin, promotes the transcription of downstream oncogenes (such as c-Myc and Cyclin D1), and ultimately facilitates the proliferation and metastasis of CRC cells (Zhou et al., 2022) (Table 2). The gene discussed is STEAP3; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
