| Cancer Name | esophageal squamous cell cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | |
| Methods | qPCR, RNAi, Western blot, Cell proliferation assay, Cell migration assay etc. |
| Sample | ESCC tissues, cell lines (TE1, TE7, EC1, EC109, KYSE70 and KYSE450) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | We found that the MALAT1 expression level was higher in human ESCC tissues, which was closely correlated with WHO grade, lymph node metastasis and prognosis. Silencing of MALAT1 expression inhibited cell proliferation, migration and tumor sphere formation, while increasing cell apoptosis of esophageal cancer in vitro. Down-regulation of MALAT1 decreased the expression of B-catenin, Lin28 and Ezh2 genes, while over-expressed Ezh2 combined with MALAT1 down-regulation completely reversed the si-MALAT1-mediated repression of B-catenin and Lin28 in esophageal cancer cells. Animal experiments showed that knockdown of MALAT1 decreased tumor formation and improved survival. |
