LncRNAs participate in a series of modifications of the glycolysis pathway in cancer cells: LncRNA IDH1-AS1 links the functions of MYC proto-oncogene, BHLH transcription factor (c-MYC), and HIF-1α via isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 1, cytosolic (IDH1), to the regulation of mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis in cervical carcinoma cells. This evidence concerns the gene IDH1 and cancer.
