LncRNA HOXA11-AS promotes proliferation and invasion by targeting miR-124 in human non–small cell lung cancer cells

Long non-coding RNAs have been implicated in human cancer but their mechanisms of action are mainly undocumented. In this study, we found that HOXA11-AS expression was upregulated in non–small cell lung cancer tissues and cell lines. High levels of HOXA11-AS expression were correlated with larger tu...
