SLC16A1 and cancer: With respect to the functional and mechanistic connection of SLC16A1-AS1 and SLC16A1/MCT1, we wondered whether the putative targets of lncRNA-SLC16A1-AS1 are, to a certain extent, overlapping with the downstream effectors of MCT1, which has a well-established role in cancer invasiveness, in a cancer type-independent manner.
