MALAT1 Levels Are Elevated in Thyroid Tumors from Chilean Patients with Lymphatic Infiltration and Are Linked to Metabolic Reprogramming

Michelle Tobar-Lara, Andrea Matamoros, Marcelo Muñoz-González, Diego Leiva, Günther Redenz, Gino Nardocci, Luis Meneses, Patricio Cabané T, Álvaro A. Elorza, Rodrigo Aguilar

The paper examines MALAT1 levels in thyroid tumors from Chilean patients, finding a correlation with lymphatic infiltration and a link to mitochondrial quality control rather than direct metabolic reprogramming.

Deletion of the MALAT1 RNA 3' end Promotes Transcript Decay and Inhibits Proliferation in Gastric and Breast Cancer Cells

Aramis Cortes-Arias, Valeria Valdes, Marcelo Muñoz-González, Diego Leiva, Andrew Acevedo, Michelle Tobar-Lara, Nicole Farfán, Lilly Oni, Eduardo Quiñones‐Medina, Verónica A. Burzio, Adriana Rojas, Roberto Munita, Srinivas Somarowthu, Fernando J. Bustos, Rodrigo Aguilar

This study shows that deleting the 3' end of MALAT1 RNA reduces its stability and inhibits cancer cell proliferation in gastric and breast cancer models.
