Their analysis [45] also revealed that SNGH17 promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progress, proliferation and invasion of ESCC cells by sponging miR-338-3p, thereby activating SOX4, These data suggested that SNHG17 accelerates ESCC progression through miR-338-3P/SOX4 pathways. Here, SNHG17 is linked to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
