The lncRNA MALAT1 acts as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate KRAS expression by sponging miR-217 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Abstract The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 (MALAT1) has been shown to play an important role in tumourigenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of MALAT1 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. MALAT1 is expressed at higher levels i...
