NEAT1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: In a study of the underlying mechanism of NEAT1 in NPC progression, NEAT1 expression was found to be upregulated in NPC tissues and cells, and NEAT1 knockdown resulted in an inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT by blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling, a trigger for tumorigenesis 20, via targeting miR-34a-5p 21.
