STMN1 and central nervous system cancer: Fu et al. also detected an increase in MALAT1 expression in gliomas, concluding that MALAT1 can induce proliferation and autophagy and target miR-101, which regulates not only ZEB1, but also STMN1 (stathmin 1), RAB5A (RAS-associated protein RAB5A) and ATG4D (autophagy-related 4D cysteine peptidase) expression (106).
