In addition, suppression of PCBP1 expression or post-translational modification can increase the translation of genes and long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) which were required for EMT and metastasis in different cancers, including gastric cancer (Chaudhury et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2010; Hussey et al., 2011; Liu et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2015). This evidence concerns the gene PCBP1 and gastric cancer.
