MALAT1 and neoplasm: MiR-217, a tumor suppressor, can inhibit MALAT-1 through the Ago2-mediated pathway, and thus inhibit EMT by suppressing EZH2-mediated H3K27me3, upregulating E-cadherin and downregulating N-cadherin and vimentin in cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced malignant transformation of HBE cells [101].
