Long non-coding RNA PCAT-1 promotes tumor progression by inhibiting miR-129-5p in human ovarian cancer

Introduction Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most common malignancies and the leading cause of cancer-related death among women. The long non-coding RNA Prostate cancer-associated transcript-1 (PCAT-1) has been reported to play important roles in multiple human cancers. However, the role of PCAT-1...
