Yoon et al. [21] reported that the expression level of LUCAT1 was increased in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), where it functioned as an oncogene to promote the progression of ESCC via upregulating the DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) expression. This evidence concerns the gene DNMT1 and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
