Knockdown of Long Non-Coding RNA GAS5 Increases miR-23a by Targeting ATG3 Involved in Autophagy and Cell Viability
Background/Aims: Autophagy is a process of evolutionarily conservative degradation, which could maintain cellular homeostasis and cope with various types of stress.LncRNAs are considered as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) contributing to autophagy.GAS5 has been suggested as a new potential factor to mediate autophagy pathway and the underlying m
