VIM and gastric cancer: Zeng et al. have reported that lncRNA XLOC_006753 expression is up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and MDR gastric cancer cell lines, and the knockdown of XLOC_006753 can reduce the expression levels of PI3K, p-AKT (Thr308/Ser473), p-mTOR, β-catenin, Vimentin, and Snail, thus reversing EMT and enhancing the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to DDP and 5-FU in vitro [127].
