   Methylation
   Cancer Name esophageal squamous cell cancer
   ICD-0-3  
   Methods qPCR, RNAi etc.
   Sample ESCC tissues, cell lines (EC109, EC9706, KYSE150, KYSE510)
   Expression Pattern up-regulated
   Function Description

The relative level of UCA1 was significantly higher in ESCC tissues, and remarkably higher expression of UCA1 was found in esophageal cancer cell lines compared with the immortalized esophageal epithelial cell line NE1. The ESCC patients with higher UCA1 expression had an advanced clinical stage and a poorer prognosis than those with lower expression. In vitro assays, our data indicated that downregulation of UCA1 decrease cell proliferation, migration, and invasion ability.
