Overexpression of lncRNA-neighboring enhancer of FOXA2 (NEF), growth-arrest associated lncRNA 1 (GASL1), LINC00675 inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and migration through decreasing the expression of β-catenin in ESCC (Zhang et al., 2018b; Zhong et al., 2018; Ren et al., 2021). The gene discussed is GASAL1; the disease is esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
