Colorectal cancer growth and metastasis could be promoted by the release of oncogene PTBP2 from the SFPQ/PTBP2 complex, which is achieved by the affinity between human metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lncRNA MALAT1) and SFPQ [62] (Figure 3B). This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and colorectal cancer.
