Liang et al. found that LINC00239 could interact with C-Myc promoter-binding protein-1 (MBP-1) to promote the expression of the oncogene C-Myc in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, thereby increasing the proliferation and metastatic capacity of ESCC cells [54]. This evidence concerns the gene ENO1 and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
