Although high expression of WiNTRLINC1 in CRC is associated with increased metastatic potential and poorer prognosis, Snail1, a master regulator of EMT, was found to reduce EMT-related proliferation by directly repressing the stemness-related genes MYB and WiNTRLINC1, while abrogating the stemness characteristics of CRC cells (131). Here, SNAI1 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
