Conversely, Slug expression could be stimulated by long noncoding RNA-SNHG12 [7], LIV-1 (estrogen-regulated zinc transporter) [30] or long noncoding RNA-CC3 [6] in cervical cancer, further reducing E-cadherin expression and subsequently facilitating cell EMT and promoting distant metastasis. This evidence concerns the gene CDH1 and cervical carcinoma.
