LINC00961
LINC00961: An Emerging Player in Cancer Biology
Description
LINC00961 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) molecule that has gained significant attention in recent years due to its involvement in various biological processes and its potential role in cancer development. LncRNAs are non-coding RNA molecules that are longer than 200 nucleotides and play regulatory roles in gene expression, cell differentiation, and disease pathogenesis.
Associated Diseases
LINC00961 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several types of cancer, including:
- Gastric cancer: Studies have shown that LINC00961 is overexpressed in gastric cancer tissues and promotes the growth, migration, and invasion of cancer cells.
- Breast cancer: LINC00961 has been found to be upregulated in breast cancer and contributes to tumor progression by regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
- Lung cancer: LINC00961 has been demonstrated to play a role in lung cancer development by promoting cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis.
- Colorectal cancer: LINC00961 has been observed to be overexpressed in colorectal cancer tissues and to promote tumor growth and metastasis.
Did you Know ?
According to a study published in the journal Nature Cancer, LINC00961 was found to be overexpressed in 80% of gastric cancer tissue samples and was associated with a significantly worse prognosis in patients with gastric cancer.
