In the present study, our findings provide further evidence that exosomal MALAT1 contributes to CRC progression and regulates FUT4 expression by sponging miR-26a/26b via fucosylation and PI3K/Akt pathway, which may provide novel insights into the function of exosomal MALAT1 in CRC. The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
