Abstract:
Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 324 (LINC00324) is an example of lncRNAs whose roles in the carcinogenesis is being elucidated. This lncRNA is encoded by a gene located on 17p13.1. It has been shown to be over-expressed in a variety of cancer cell lines and tumoral tissues. However, there are few reports showing down-regulation of LINC00324 in cancer cell lines and tissues. miR-615-5p/AKT1, miR-139-5p/IGF1R, miR-769-5p/STAT3, miR-3200-5p/BCAT1 and miR-214-5p/CDK6/CCND1/MDM2/MDM4 are examples of miRNA/mRNA axes being influenced by LINC00324. LINC00324 can be regarded as a promising candidate for development of diagnostic and prognostic panels. Moreover, it can be used a therapeutic target for a wide range of cancers. The current review summarizes the evidence regarding the impact of lINC00324 in the carcinogenic processes.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
