Marìn-Bejar et al. showed that p53 activates PINT, a lincRNA downregulated in colon tumors, whose enforced expression decreased in vitro proliferation of cancer cell lines [41]; moreover, p53 may also repress the promoter of the H19 lncRNA [42], a maternally imprinted gene overexpressed in fetal tissues and silenced after birth, initially described as tumor suppressor [43], but also endowed with oncogenic properties in certain tissues. This evidence concerns the gene TP53 and cancer.
