The Regulatory Role of Both MBNL1 and MBNL1-AS1 in Several Common Cancers

Background: Muscle blind-like-proteins (MBNL) are a class of tissue-specific RNA metabolism regulators that control pre-messenger RNA-splicing. Inactivation of MBNL can lead to myotonic dystrophy in adults. MBNL is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle, neuron tissue, thymus, liver, and kidney and plays an important role in the ultimate differentiation of muscle cells and neurons. MBNL1 is a member of the MBNL protein family. The inactivation of...
