In addition, it was recently identified that lncRNA GLI1AS expression level is negatively co-expressed with the mRNA GLI-1 in rhabdomyosarcoma, pancreatic carcinoma, medulloblastoma, prostatic carcinoma, gastric carcinoma, and lung carcinomas, indirectly controlling tumor growth and tumor cell proliferation seen in xenotransplant in vivo assays. The gene discussed is GLI1; the disease is lung carcinoma.
