MALAT1 and Epstein-Barr virus infection: Li X.X. et al. (2018) found that 62 genes trans-regulated by lncRNAs were involved in the EBV infection pathway in NPC. Moreover, they identified eight lncRNAs dysregulated in NPC (C666-1) and GC (AGS-EBV) cells, including lncRNA-BC200, metastasis-related lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), LINC00672, LINC00982, IGFBP7-AS1, LOC100128494, LINC02067, and LOC100505716 (Li X.X. et al., 2018).
