In addition, our results showed that the effects of DLX6-AS1 knockdown on survival were marginal, and the effects of DLX6-AS1 knockdown and the rescue experiments have a greater effect on cell migration and EMT-related markers expression, indicating that dysregulation of DLX6-AS1 may be more important for pancreatic cancer metastasis rather than tumor maintenance. Here, DLX6 is linked to neoplasm.
