Fig. 9From: CXCL12/CXCR4 promotes inflammation-driven colorectal cancer progression through activation of RhoA signaling by sponging miR-133a-3pSchematic of proposed molecular model of non-coding RNAs involved in CXCL12/CXCR4-induced CRC invasion and progression. Activation of CXCL12/CXCR4 axis upregulates LncRNA XIST. LncRNA XIST functions as a ceRNA sponging miR-133a-3p, thereby upregulating RhoA, which promoted actin polymerization and actomyosin contractility through the ROCK/p-MLC pathwayBack to article page
