Several lncRNAs are regulated by TGF-β. Here the authors report that an intergenic lncRNA —EPR— is a component of the TGF-β signaling pathway and controls epithelial cell proliferation by altering transcription and mRNA decay of Cdkn1a. EPR overexpression restrains tumor growth of orthotopically transplanted mice.
