The study is the first to prove that the UPF1-Linc-00313-miR-342-3p/miR-485-5p-Zic4-SHCBP1 pathway forms a positive-feedback loop and regulates the biological behaviors of U87 and U251 cells, which might provide a new therapeutic target for glioma.
Our findings demonstrated that miR‑342 regulates the cell proliferation of glioma by targeting GPRC5A, which indicates that miR‑342 is a target of interest regarding the treatment of refractory glioma, and it may provide a promising prognostic and therapeutic strategy for glioma treatment.
Emerging evidence has shown that long noncoding RNAs are key factors in glioma pathogenesis. qRT-PCR analysis was used to assess the expression of FTX and miR-342-3p in the different stages of gliomas in tissues.
