Table 1 Signaling Pathways Associated with MALAT-1 in Renal Cell Carcinoma

From: The functions of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-MALAT-1 in the pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma

MALAT-1

Results

Ref.

Tissue sample/cell line/animal model

Stimulation

Suppression

Human proximal tubule epithelial cells HK-2,

106 primary ccRCC tissues from nephrectomy,

Human RCC lines 786- O, ACHN, Caki-1, Caki-2

High MALAT-1 expression in both ccRCC tissues and RCC.

MALAT-1 promoted RCC proliferation, migration, invasion, and progression.

The inhibition of MALAT-1 accelerated apoptosis and induced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase.

Shorter overall survival time in ccRCC patients.

[66]

50 patients (34 male and 16 female) with clear cell RCC,

Normal renal epithelial cells (HK-2), human RCC lines 786-O, A-498, Caki-1, Caki-2

Ezh2, c-Fos

miR-205

MALAT-1 by targeting c-Fos and Ezh2, and sponging miR-205 can induce RCC cell proliferation and invasion, and suppress apoptosis.

[68]

Human tissues, RCC 786-O and Caki-1 cell lines, Six female athymic BALB/c nude mice

Livin

High MALAT-1 and the Livin protein in both RCC tissues and the RCC cell lines.

MALAT-1 induced proliferation and metastasis.

[71]

Human RCC cell lines ACHN, 786-O, Caki-1,

ccRCC nude mouse

CDC20, AURKA

miR-182-5p, P53

miR-182-5p reduced MALAT-1 expression.

Overexpression of miR-182-5p by targeting MALAT-1 reduced tumor growth.

[72]

786-O, Caki-1, Ketr-3, RT112, T24, Ect1/E6E7

PI3K/Akt

miR‑22‑3p

MALAT-1 induced the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and suppressed miR-22-3p to promote the proliferation and migration of RCC

[33]

HK-2, A498, 786-O, OS-RC-2, CAKI-1, HK-2, HEK293T, 786-O,

BALB/c nude mice

BIRC5 (survivin)

miR-203

MALAT-1 by suppressing miR-203, influencing the expression of BIRC5, and promoted cell proliferation, invasion, and migration.

[34]

786-O, A498, ACHN,

BALB/C nude mice

ETS1

TFCP2L1

786-O-EVs, as carriers of MALAT1, played a pivotal role in promoting RCC invasion and metastasis, facilitating the binding of the transcription factor ETS1 to the TFCP2L1 promoter.

[77]

Tumor and adjacent normal tissue samples from 14 patients with ccRCC

HIF1, ALDOA,

miR-122

miR-1271, SOX-6

High expression of HIF1 was associated with elevated expression of ALDOA, MALAT-1, mir-122, and low expression of mir-1271 and SOX-6.
