For example, the lncRNA linc-POU3F3 (also known as PANTR1 - POU3F3 adjacent non-coding transcript 1) was shown to support CRC cell survival, proliferation, and dissemination by influencing the expression of several genes, including caspase-3/9, cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), retinoblastoma (Rb), and SLUG [152]. Here, PANTR1 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
