Of note, a recent study showed that PVT1 lncRNA expression was not required to inhibit MYC transcription; instead, the PVT1 promoter competed with MYC for enhancer binding at the PVT1 locus, preventing MYC promoter firing and suppressing transcriptional elongation of the MYC oncogene and reducing cancer cell growth (121). Here, MYC is linked to cancer.
