Long Noncoding RNA PVT1 Acts as a “Sponge” to Inhibit microRNA-152 in Gastric Cancer Cells

PVT1 was up-regulated in patients with gastric cancer (GC) and might be as a novel biomarker for predicting GC. However, the exact mechanism of PVT1 exerting functions in GC was still poorly understood. Emerging evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs may act as endogenous microRNA (miRNA) sponges to bind to miRNAs and regulate their function. This study aimed to determine the function of PVT1 on miR-152 expression in GC cells. The levels of...
