Additionally, TUG1 silencing inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in cells derived from bladder cancer, osteosarcoma, hepatic, renal, colon, and gastric cancer; it is also associated with migration, invasion, tumorigenicity, the cell cycle, and angiogenesis in many other tumor types [7,14,15,16]. This evidence concerns the gene TUG1 and gastric cancer.
