The mRNA expression of TUG1 was significantly upregulated in ESCC tissues or cells, and was negatively correlated to miR-148a-3p expression in tissues.
Taurine Up-regulated Gene 1 (TUG1), a 7.1-kb lncRNA, recruiting and binding to polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), is found to be disregulated in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
