Role of lncRNAs in proliferation and metastasis of prostate cancer cells. EMT is responsible for increasing migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells. LncRNA SNH17 and PCAT7 are among the lncRNAs inducing EMT in increasing prostate cancer metastasis. Apoptosis induction and transfer of glucose into prostate cancer cells (GLUT1) are also modulated by lncRNAs
