Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), also known as nuclear-enriched transcript 2 (NEAT2), was discovered as a prognostic marker for lung cancer metastasis.[64] Since its discovery in 2003, MALAT1 has been one of the most studied lncRNAs so far and is overexpressed in multiple carcinomas.[65, 66] In melanoma, MALAT1 may promote cell proliferation and invasion through a complex interaction with miR-183 and integrin β1 (ITGB1).[67]. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and lung cancer.
