LINC01605 and colonic neoplasm: Upregulated lncRNA LINC01605 in our data, otherwise known as LincDUSP, has been found to regulate cell cycle genes to resist apoptosis in a study by Forrest et al., where the knockdown of lincDUSP in colon tumor cell lines increased the accumulation of cells in early S-phase, indicating increased DNA damage response induction33.
