Long non-coding RNA BLACAT1 expedites osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion via up-regulating SOX12 through miR-608
Background: Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone malignancy.Increasing evidence indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) possess multiple functions in the development of cancer and can be used as indicators of prognosis and diagnosis.LncRNA BLACAT1 has been found to promote the proliferation of breast cancer cells.However, the role of
