A reduction of NEAT1 expression levels by knocking down the gene leads to decreased cell viability, cell growth, migration, invasion, and EMT in vitro as well as to reduced tumor size and metastasis in vivo (Fang et al., 2017; Fu et al., 2017; Tu et al., 2018; Wang et al., 2017c; Zhang et al., 2018). The gene discussed is NEAT1; the disease is neoplasm.
