MALAT1 and cervicitis: In this context, we systematically summarized the dysregulation and the potential mechanisms of several lncRNAs such as Homeobox transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR), H19, Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), Cervical Carcinoma High-Expressed 1 (CCHE1), Antisense noncoding RNA in the inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (ANRIL), Growth arrest special 5 (GAS5) and Plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1), among others (Table 1, Figure 2), in cervical tumorigenesis.
