MALAT1 and neoplasm: Our data show that 6 lncRNAs (CCAT1, CCAT2, HOTAIR, MALAT1, TUG1, and UCA1) and 1 circRNA (CDR1AS) are differentially expressed in tumor tissues compared to normal mucosa; in particular, we observed the upregulation of CCAT1, CCAT2, HOTAIR, and UCA1 and the downregulation of CDR1AS, MALAT1, and TUG1.
