In four glioma cell lines (U87, U251, SHG44, U-118 MG), the expression of NEAT1 and SOX2 was distinctively elevated compared with normal cell line HA (Fig. 1d), whereas miR-132 expression in glioma cell lines was significantly lower than that in HA cell line (Fig. 1e). This evidence concerns the gene NEAT1 and central nervous system cancer.
