Figure 4. Mechanisms of lncRNAs in TSCC progression.
(A) down-regulated MEG3 results in miR-26a overexpression, and then reduce DNMT3B expression, thus promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis; (B) MALAT1 overexpression promotes tumor growth and invasion by increasing JAG1 expression resulted from the reduction of miR-124; induces EMT; (C) down-regulated NKILA promotes tumor cell migration and invasion via promoting IκBα phosphorylation induced by IKK, NF-κB activation and the induction of EMT process; (D) UCA1 promotes migration; (E) LINC00673 promotes migration and invasion.
