Fig. 6: Schematic model of CCSlnc362 functions in colorectal carcinogenesis.

CCSlnc362 on chromosome 3q26.2 is tumor-promoting lncRNA in colorectal cancer, which promotes cell proliferation and cell cycle and inhibits apoptosis. Rs1317082 has been reported as a protective factor in tumor and located in exon 1 of CCSlnc362. The T>C variant at rs1317082 creates a binding site for miR-4658 at CCSlnc362 and reduces the expression of CCSlnc362, which eventually diminishes the oncogenic effect of CCSlnc362 in colorectal cancer
