MALAT1 (Metastasis Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1) also known as NEAT2 (Nuclear-Enriched Abundant Transcript 2) is an infrequently spliced long non-coding RNA, which is highly conserved amongst mammals and highly expressed in the nucleus. [3]

Mar 30, 2025 · MALAT1 (Metastasis Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1) is an RNA Gene, and is affiliated with the lncRNA class. Diseases associated with MALAT1 include Kidney Cancer and Ovary Epithelial Cancer.

MALAT1 is a highly-conserved noncoding RNA gene transcribed from the human 11q13 locus which has been shown to exhibit copy number changes, translocations, or mutations in several cancer types. MALAT1 translocation to TFEB has been reported in renal cell carcinoma .

MALAT1 expression in fat tissue is positively correlated with adipogenic FABP4 and LPL. This lncRNA is involved in the regulation of PPARγ at the transcription stage, fatty acid metabolism, and insulin signaling. The wide range of MALAT1 functions makes it an interesting target in studies searching for drugs to prevent obesity development in ...

Malat1 is one of the first identified lncRNAs associated with human disease, and cumulative studies have indicated that Malat1 plays critical roles in the development and progression of various cancers.

Oct 22, 2018 · Targeted inactivation, restoration and overexpression of MALAT1 in multiple in vivo models demonstrate that the lncRNA MALAT1 suppresses breast cancer metastasis through binding and...

Jan 1, 2024 · MALAT1 promotes cellular proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and angiogenesis in lung cancer, collectively facilitating tumor growth and metastasis. Additionally, MALAT1 enhances cancer cell invasion by …

Mar 1, 2025 · MALAT1 is an 8.5 kb noncoding RNA with proposed roles in mRNA processing, gene regulation, and alternative splicing (11, 12). MALAT1 is abundantly expressed and predominantly nuclear localized in many human cell types.

Jan 9, 2024 · Here we show that the long noncoding RNA Malat1 is required for tumor initiation and metastatic reactivation in mouse models of breast cancer and other tumor types. Malat1 localizes to nuclear...

May 8, 2018 · In this review, we summarize the emerging insights on lncRNA expression and functional role in cancer, focusing on the evolutionary conserved and abundantly expressed metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) that currently represents the best characterized lncRNA.
