miR-145-sponge

Recently, several studies indicated that lncRNAs could act as sponges to compete miRNAs. miRNA sponges contain complementary binding sites to a miRNA of interest, which inhibit miRNA activity [1] (Fig 1). Currently, Reports have shown that the lncRNA MALAT1 can act as a "sponge" for miR-202-3p, thereby regulating the invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of cervical cancer cells [2]. Additionally, it has been reported that MALAT1 can also act as a "sponge" for miR-429, thereby regulating the migration, apoptosis, and other metabolic activities of cervical cancer cells [3-4].

 1. MiRNAs regulate gene expression by binding to 3’ UTR elements in mRNA and degrading them.
 2.lncRNAs have been thought to interact with miRNAs as “sponges” or competing  endogenous RNAs (ceRNA), attenuating the 
 repression of mRNAs by miRNA.

Mir-145 affected aerobic glycolysis through MYC, which may be a potential target for the treatment of cervival cancer[5]. Mir-145 contained the binding site of lncRNA MALAT1.Given the fact that lncRNA MALAT1 could act as miRNA sponge, we designed the sequence that could bind to miR-145 based on MALAT1 sequence.
