In NSCLC, Gutschner et al. showed that MALAT1 regulates the expression of several metastasis-associated genes, e.g. CDCP1 (CUB domain containing protein 1) and GPC6 (glypican 6), indicating a major role of MALAT1 in disease progression[26]. This evidence concerns the gene GPC6 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
