LUCAT1 and cancer: LUCAT1 has been implicated in the progression of several cancers, including gastric, lung, and ovarian malignancies, by modulating various miRNA-mediated pathways: it inhibits ferroptosis in bladder cancer by regulating STAT3 [23], suppresses glioblastoma growth when silenced [24], promotes gastric cancer proliferation and migration via the miR-134-5p/YWHAZ [25], and enhances metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma l [26].
