LINC00266-1

RBRP

Colorectal cancer

Oncogenic

Binding to the m6A reader IGF2BP1. This results in increased c-Myc expression.

xenograft + patients

243

LINC00278

YY1BM

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Tumor-suppressive

Separation of YY1 from AR. This results in eEF2k downregulation.

xenograft + patients

244

LINC00665

CIP2A-BP

Triple negative breast cancer

Tumor-suppressive

Binding to CIP2A. This results in increased dephosphorylation of AKT by PP2A, hence decreased signaling through the PI3K/AKT pathway.

xenograft + transgenic mice + patients

173

LINC00675

FORCP

Colorectal cancer

Tumor-suppressive

Promotion of cancer cell apoptosis and suppression of tumorigenesis, possibly through the regulation of BRI3BP function.

xenograft

LINC00908

ASRPS

Triple negative breast cancer

Tumor-suppressive

Impairment of STAT3 phosphorylation. This results in decreased VEGF expression.

xenograft + transgenic mice + patients

LINC00998

SMIM30

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Oncogenic

Binding to YES1. This results in increased signaling through the MAPK pathway.

CRIPTO3

CRIPTO3 protein

Cancer (+F9 murine cells (cripto–/–, Nodal+))

Oncogenic

Activation of Nodal signaling pathway.

Glioblastoma

Oncogenic

Phosphorylation and stabilization of KLF15.

xenograft + patients

249

NANOGP8

NANOGP8 protein

Prostate cancer

Oncogenic

Cancer initiation in combination with c-MYC.

transgenic mice

192

NA88-A

NA88-A peptide

Melanoma

Tumor-suppressive

Antigenic peptide that is recognized by CD8+ T cells.

250

OCT4-PG1

OCT4-PG1 protein

Chronic myeloid leukemia

Oncogenic

Alteration of multidrug resistance phenotype by directly interacting with OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG and indirectly with ABC transporters.

251

STK24P1

P1-121aa

Glioblastoma

Oncogenic

Phosphorylation and stabilization of ELF2. This results in increased VEGFR2 and VE-cadherin expression.
