Our results not only revealed that c-Myc transactivated KCNQ1OT1 and upregulated KCNQ1OT1 promoted APL cell proliferation, but also demonstrated that KCNQ1OT1 bound to FUS to synergistically stabilize MAP3K1 mRNA, thus facilitating APL cell proliferation. The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is acute promyelocytic leukemia.
