MALAT1 and cervical carcinoma: For this purpose, analysis of Exos purified from cervico-vaginal lavage samples of patients with cervical cancer made it possible to demonstrate high levels of miR-21 and miR-146a [106] or long non-coding RNAs (especially metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) which is known to be activated by E6) [107].
