Abstract
Long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) genes have diverse features that distinguish them from mRNA-encoding genes and exercise functions such as remodelling chromatin and genome architecture, RNA stabilization and transcription regulation, including enhancer-associated activity. Some genes currently annotated as encoding lincRNAs include small open reading frames (smORFs) and encode functional peptides and thus may be more properly classified as coding RNAs. lincRNAs may broadly serve to fine-tune the expression of neighbouring genes with remarkable tissue specificity through a diversity of mechanisms, highlighting our rapidly evolving understanding of the non-coding genome.

LINC00265 targets miR-382-5p to regulate SAT1, VAV3 and angiogenesis in osteosarcoma.

TL;DR: Bioinformatics analysis and clinical experiments confirmed that LINC00265, SAT1 and VAV3 were overexpressed in osteosarcoma and related to a poor prognosis, whereas miR-382-5p was downregulated and associated with a poor predicted prognosis.

Long Non-coding RNA PVT1 as a Prognostic and Therapeutic Target in Pediatric Cancer.

TL;DR: The compilation of early advances in the field of pediatric tumors which often lags behind clinical improvements in adult tumors is focused on, and a rationale to continue studying PVT1 as a possible functional contributor to pediatric malignancies and as a potential prognostic marker or therapeutic target is provided.

Long Noncoding RNAs in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Pathogenesis and Potential Implications as Clinical Biomarkers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the progression of neurological diseases including NDDs is presented, and the potential applicability of circulating lncRNA as biomarkers in NDD diagnostics and prognostics is discussed.

A lncRNA fine-tunes salicylic acid biosynthesis to balance plant immunity and growth.

TL;DR: In this article , the role of a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in fine-tuning the balance of plant immunity and growth was uncovered, and it was shown that a lncRNA termed salicylic acid biogenesis controller 1 (SABC1) suppresses immunity and promotes growth.

IGF2BP1, a Conserved Regulator of RNA Turnover in Cancer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of genes and cancer hallmark pathways showing a conserved pattern of deregulation in dependence of IGF2BP1 expression in cancer cell lines, which confirm and expand previous findings on the pivotal role of the oncofetal IGF2 mRNA-binding protein 1 in promoting oncogenic gene expression by stabilizing target mRNAs in a mainly 3'UTR, m6A-, miRNA-, and potentially AU-rich element dependent manner.

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.

Landscape of transcription in human cells

Sarah Djebali, +87 more
- 06 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: Evidence that three-quarters of the human genome is capable of being transcribed is reported, as well as observations about the range and levels of expression, localization, processing fates, regulatory regions and modifications of almost all currently annotated and thousands of previously unannotated RNAs that prompt a redefinition of the concept of a gene.

Core transcriptional regulatory circuitry in human embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the transcriptional regulation of stem cells and how OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG contribute to pluripotency and self-renewal and how they collaborate to form regulatory circuitry consisting of autoregulatory and feedforward loops.
