LncRNA CCAT2 is identified with overexpression in prostate cancer tissues and cell lines.
High expression of lncRNA CCAT2 can be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival and progression-free survival.
Knockdown of lncRNA CCAT2 can inhibit cell growth, migration, and invasion in vitro study.
Knockdown of lncRNA CCAT2 stimulates metastasis of prostate cancer cell through regulating EMT-associated gene expression including N-cadherin, Vimentin and E-cadherin.
