Researchers used a small-molecule inhibitor of histone demethylase JMJD1A to bind to the promoter region of the MALAT1 gene to inhibit the expression of MALAT1, thereby inhibiting the tumor cell migration and invasion.19 20 It has been reported that inactivation of tumor suppressor genes plays an important role in tumorigenesis and tumor development. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and neoplasm.
