The roles of various lncRNAs in autophagy-induced chemoresistance have previously been reviewed (6), including bladder cancer-associated transcript 1 (BLACAT1), metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), the X-inactivate specific transcript (XIST), small nucleolar RNA host genes (SNHGs), highly upregulated in liver cancer (HULC), and cancer susceptibility candidate 2 (CASC2). Here, MALAT1 is linked to cancer.
