PROM1 and breast cancer: A potential role of MALAT1 in the breast stem cell compartment was proposed by Latorre et al., who demonstrated that MALAT1 regulated the stem cell marker CD133 via the interaction with the RNA-binding protein HuR (ELAVL1); HuR silencing in luminal non-metastatic breast cancer cells was sufficient to upregulate N-cadherin (CDH2) and CD133, thus leading to a mesenchymal-like and migratory phenotype.
