MALAT1 and gastric cancer: In addition, lncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) promotes the stemness of GC cells by combining with sex determining region Y (SRY)-related HMG-box 2 (SOX) mRNA, Sox2 SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 mRNA, and knockdown of lncRNA MALAT1 can enhance the radiosensitivity of GC cells (Xu et al., 2021).
