Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript1 (MALAT1) [15], colon cancer-associated transcript 2 (CCAT2) [16], HOX antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) [17] are some of the oncogenic lncRNAs which promote the growth, migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. The gene discussed is CCAT2; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
