Although it is well demonstrated that DANCR stimulates the migration, invasion, and metastasis (all characteristic EMT phenotypes) of multiple human cancers (Jin et al., 2017; Mao et al., 2017; Pan et al., 2018; Shi et al., 2018; Wang and Jiang, 2018; Wang et al., 2018a; 2018b), few studies have presented direct evidence that DANCR regulates EMT. This evidence concerns the gene DANCR and cancer.
