A high throughput assessment of transcriptome in 5-FU-resistant CRC cells and parental cells has revealed differential expression of more than 2,000 lncRNAs which have been enriched in Jak-STAT, PI3K-Akt, and NF-κB signaling pathways, emphasizing the role of these pathways in conferring resistance to 5-FU (125). Here, AKT1 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
