SPOCK1 and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: Yusaku et al. reported that silencing of SPOCK1 by small interfering RNA inhibited ESCC cells migration and invasion [39] Therefore, we suggested that LINC00958 might regulate the expression of SPOCK1 by its sponging of miR-510-5p, and involve proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT of ESCC.
