CASC2 functions as a miR-144-3p decoy. a Prediction of miR-144-3p binding sites on the CASC2 transcript. b CASC2 and miR-144-3p were both existed in AGO2 antibody coprecipitates. c The CASC2 binds to the AGO2 protein. d The miR-144-3p expression was significantly higher in CASC2 pull-down compound. *P < 0.05 vs IgG, ^#P < 0.05 vs NC
