Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR reprograms chromatin state to promote cancer metastasis

TL;DR: It is shown that lincRNAs in the HOX loci become systematically dysregulated during breast cancer progression, indicating that l incRNAs have active roles in modulating the cancer epigenome and may be important targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

ING2 PHD domain links histone H3 lysine 4 methylation to active gene repression

TL;DR: A novel class of methylated H3K4 effector domains—the PHD domains of the ING (for inhibitor of growth) family of tumour suppressor proteins—are identified and established a pivotal role for trimethylation of H 3K4 in gene repression and, potentially, tumour suppressing mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long noncoding RNA in genome regulation: prospects and mechanisms.

TL;DR: The finding that HOTAIR drives chromatin reprogramming genome-wide suggests that long-range regulation by lncRNAs may be a widespread mechanism, and provoke questions regarding the initial triggers for HotaIR overexpression and whether understanding of lncRNA mechanics may have clinical relevance.
