Taken together, the methylation of KIAA0495 was inversely correlated with KIAA0495 expression level in myeloma cell lines, similar to the methylation-mediated silencing of KIAA0495 demonstrated in glioma cell lines and primary oligodendroglial tumour cells [16], suggesting that methylation of the promoter-associated CpG island emerged to be one of the mechanisms resulting in the regulation of lncRNAs in cancer cells. This evidence concerns the gene GFOD3P and cancer.
