While the MALAT1–miRNA interactions described above have been supposed to promote cancer, MALAT1 has also been reported to exert tumor-suppressive effects by sponging miRNAs miR-17, 20a, and 106b, thereby decreasing the expression of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) in BC cells [153]. The gene discussed is MALAT1; the disease is neoplasm.
