The lncRNA MALAT-1 expression was markedly increased in primary bladder tumors that subsequently showed evidence of metastasis, and its overexpression could promote bladder cancer cells invasion by modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated ZEB1, ZEB2, Slug and E-cadherin levels or by activating Wnt signaling[35]. The gene discussed is ZEB1; the disease is urinary bladder neoplasm.
