MALAT1 and colonic neoplasm: MALAT1 in CRCs prevents binding of miRNAs to mRNAs encoding proteins such as β-catenin, c-Myc (in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway), TWIST, SLUG (promote EMT: downregulation of E-cadherin, upregulation of N-cadherin, vimentin) and many others, supported by both extensive analyzes of clinical samples and the results of experiments using established human colon cancer cell lines (Xu et al. 2022; Uthman et al. 2021).
