Studies have shown that some lncRNAs such as HOTAIRM1 and colon cancer-associated transcript 2 (CCAT2), associated with tumorigenesis and cancer development, were upregulated in glioma, while other lncRNAs showing tumor-suppressive functions, such as RP11-838N2.4 and MALAT1, were downregulated. This evidence concerns the gene CCAT2 and cancer.
