“…As a result, a total of 12 miRNAs were found to be embedded in genomic regions of seven lncRNAs (). Through comprehensive literature annotation for these miRNAs and lncRNAs, we found that two lncRNAs ( PVT1 and MIR31HG ) and the embedded five miRNAs ( hsa‐mir‐1204 , hsa‐mir‐1205 , hsa‐mir‐1206 , hsa‐mir‐1207 ; hsa‐mir‐31 ) play oncogenic roles that were widely confirmed by previous studies (Guan et al ., ; Kong et al ., ; Liu et al ., ; Shih et al ., ; Valastyan et al ., ; Wu et al ., 2018b; Yamagishi et al ., ; Yan et al ., ). These findings suggest that both of these lncRNAs and derived miRNAs contribute to tumorigenesis, although, for lncRNAs LINC00969 , U47924.29 and LINC00669 , we did not find evidence of oncogenic roles recorded in literature.…”
