LINC01125
Unveiling the Intriguing World of linc01125
Description
linc01125, short for long intergenic non-coding RNA 1125, is a fascinating non-coding RNA molecule. Non-coding RNAs, unlike protein-coding genes, do not directly translate into proteins but play crucial regulatory roles in various biological processes. linc01125 is located on chromosome 20q13.12 in humans and is composed of 1,542 nucleotides.
Associated Diseases
linc01125 has been implicated in a range of human diseases, including:
- Colorectal cancer: Studies have shown that linc01125 overexpression is associated with tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis in colorectal cancer.
- Gastric cancer: linc01125 has been found to be upregulated in gastric cancer and contributes to cell proliferation and migration.
- Liver cancer: Overexpression of linc01125 promotes liver cancer growth and development.
- Lung cancer: linc01125 is involved in lung cancer progression and is associated with poor prognosis.
- Osteosarcoma: linc01125 has been identified as a potential target for osteosarcoma treatment due to its role in cell growth and invasion.
Did you Know ?
- A study published in 2023 found that linc01125 expression levels were significantly higher in patients with colorectal cancer compared to healthy individuals, indicating its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic marker.
