In prostate cancer (PCa), as a lncRNA that directly target AR, the high expression of LINC01138 can promote the proliferation of tumor cells and inhibit their apoptosis, which indicated that LINC01138 could be a diagnostic and prognostic marker for PCa [55] Besides, LINC01138 can increase the arginine methylation and protein stability of sterol regulatory element-binding protein one by interacting with PRMT5, thereby promoting lipid desaturation and cell proliferation in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and being associated with poor prognosis [56]. This evidence concerns the gene PRMT5 and prostate carcinoma.
