EL0853 MALAT1 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma qPCR, Luciferase reporter assay etc. ESCC tissue, cell lines (KYSE30, KYSE150, KYSE450) up-regulated regulation In this study, we provide first evidences that a posttranscriptional regulation mechanism of MALAT1 by miR-101 and miR-217 exists in ESCC cells. This posttranscriptional silencing of MALAT1 could significantly suppress the proliferation of ESCC cells through the arrest of G2/M cell cycle, which may be due to MALAT1-mediated upregulation of P21 and P27 expression and the inhibition of B-MYB expression. 25538231 Lnc2Cancer
