   Cancer Name nasopharyngeal cancer
   ICD-0-3 C11  
   Methods qPCR, MSP-PCR, Western blot, FISH etc.
   Sample cell lines (C666-1, HK-1, NP69, NP361 and NP460)
   Expression Pattern down-regulated
   Function Description

In the present study, two MEG3 variants, AF119863 (MEG3-AF) and BX247998 (MEG3-BX), were found abundantly expressed in a normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line, NP69. Significant downregulation of MEG3-AF was further verified in a panel of NPC samples including xenografts and primary biopsies. Besides, ectopic expression of MEG3 in NPC cell lines resulted in considerable repression of in vitro anchorage-independent growth and in vivo tumorigenicity, in addition to significant inhibition in cell proliferation, colony formation, and induction of cell cycle arrest.
