It remains to be seen whether the over-expression of SNHG1 simply keeps bladder cancer cells at the stem/progenitor cell state, so that they are pluripotent and capable of differentiating into different cellular lineages, or whether SNHG1 affects bladder cancer subtypes by indirectly altering the expression of the aforementioned transcription factors. Here, SNHG1 is linked to urinary bladder carcinoma.
