EXOSOMAL MALAT1 PROMOTES THE PROLIFERATION OF ESOPHAGEAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA THROUGH GLYOXALASE 1-DEPENDENT METHYLGLYOXAL REMOVAL

Exosomal MALAT1 promotes the proliferation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma through glyoxalase 1-dependent methylglyoxal removal

In previous study we characterized the oncogenic role of long non-coding RNA MALAT1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but the detailed mechanism remains obscure.Here we identified glyoxalase 1 (GLO1) as the most possible executor of MALAT1 by microarray screening.GLO1 is responsible for degradation of cytotoxic methylglyoxal (MGO), whic
