Glioma is one of the leading causes of death in patients with intracranial tumours. RPL34 divergent transcript (RPL34-DT) is a long non-coding ribonucleic acid that is significantly upregulated in glioma tissues. However, the role of RPL34-DT in glioma behavior remains to be elucidated. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the effect of RPL34-DT on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in gliomas. ⋯ This study suggests that RPL34-DT affects cell migration in glioma and therefore may serve as a valuable therapeutic target in patients with glioma.
