miR-642a-5p may mediate a ceRNA network with LINC01234 and SHMT2. a The number of significantly downregulated miRNAs in TCGA COAD is 290. The numbers of predicted miRNAs of LINC01234 is 332 according to LncBase Predicted v.2. The number of experimentally validated miRNAs of SHMT2 is 120 according to TarBase v7.0. The number of overlapped miRNAs in the above three intersections is 2, indicating that LINC01234 and SHMT2 may share 2 common microRNAs with experimental evidence. b The relative expression of miR-642a-5p in colon cancer tissues compared with normal tissue was analyzed using TCGA COAD. c miR-642a-5p expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR in colon cancer tissues and corresponding adjacent nontumor tissues, and the data are presented as 2-△CT values (n = 20). d LINC01234 expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR in 4 human colon cancer cell lines (HCT116, HT-29, LoVo, and SW480) and normal human colonic epithelial NCM460 cells. e Association analysis of the relationship between miR-642a-5p and LINC01234 expression levels in TCGA COAD. f Association analysis of the relationship between miR-642a-5p and SHMT2 expression levels in TCGA COAD. g Association analysis of the relationship between miR-642a-5p and LINC01234 expression levels in 20 paired colon cancer tissues. h Association analysis of the relationship between miR-642a-5p and SHMT2 expression levels in 20 paired colon cancer tissues. The experiments were performed in triplicate. The data are represented as means ± SD from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05
