Jian and colleagues on 2016 reported that lncRNA NEAT1 (Nuclear Enriched Abundant Transcript 1) is involved in the positive control expression of copper transporter CTR1 (copper uptake protein 1), which has previously been reported in atypical function and subcellular location, promoting chemo-resistance in cancer cells, whereas CTR1 overexpression may increase cisplatinum-sensitivity [70] (See, Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene NEAT1 and cancer.
