   Cancer Name breast cancer
   ICD-0-3 C50  
   Methods qPCR, Western blot, RIP, ChIP, Luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down assay etc.
   Sample breast cancer tissues, cell lines (MCF7, T47D, BT474, and MDA-MB-468)
   Expression Pattern up-regulated
   Function Description

We found the human ortholog of TUNA, linc00617, was upregulated in breast cancer samples. Linc00617 promoted motility and invasion of breast cancer cells and induced epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT), which was accompanied by generation of stem cell properties. Moreover, knockdown of linc00617 repressed lung metastasis in vivo. We demonstrated that linc00617 upregulated the expression of stemness factor Sox2 in breast cancer cells, which was shown to promote the oncogenic activity of breast cancer cells by stimulating epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and enhancing the tumor-initiating capacity
