In addition, we found that si-MALAT1 transfected Mino cells were less clonogenic in methylcellulose compared to si-NC cells (Additional file 4: Figure S3), and the size of individual colonies was also significantly smaller in si-MALAT1 MCL cells (P < 0.01; Fig. 2c; Additional file 4: Figure S3b). This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and mantle cell lymphoma.
