LncRNA SNHG16 promotes tumor growth of pancreatic cancer by targeting miR-218-5p
Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene (SNHG16) is a novel cancer-related long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and functions as an oncogene in a variety of cancers. Nonetheless, the expression patterns, biological function, and potential mechanisms in SNHG16 in pancreatic cancer (PC) remain rarely known. An increase...
