The long non-coding RNA NEAT1 regulates epithelial to mesenchymal transition and radioresistance in through miR-204/ZEB1 axis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in cancer progression, including in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, it is still poorly understood whether lncRNA regulates epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and radioresistance of NPC cells. We found that lncRNA NEAT1 was significantly upregulated in NPC cell lines and tissues. Knockdown of NEAT1 could sensitize NPC cells to radiation in vitro. Further investigation found that...
