NEAT1 and neoplasm: The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1), also known as nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1, is transcribed from the multiple endocrine neoplasia locus (also known as MEN), regulates host inflammatory responses to stress, and is highly involved in tumor metastasis (Imamura et al., 2014; Dong et al., 2021; Ghafouri-Fard et al., 2021; Yamamoto et al., 2021).
