Intriguingly, the mRNA levels of Myc were not reduced in a comparable manner to the protein levels for the lnc_071255/Pvt1 and lnc_104449 as compared to lnc_177417. Due to their expression and genomic position, we named lnc_177417 Lilam (leukemia-induced LncRNAaffecting Myc) and lnc_10449 Pilna (progenitor-induced lncRNA neighboring Ak3). Here, AK3 is linked to leukemia.
