The long non-coding RNA NNT-AS1 promotes clear cell renal cell carcinoma progression via regulation of the miR-137/ Y-box binding protein 1 axis
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in the progression of malignant tumors, including in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, the function and the specific mechanism of lncRNA nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase antisense RNA 1 (NNT-AS1) in ccRCC remains unknown. Thu...
