They found that several lncRNAs with annotated functions of oncogenes, including H19 imprinted maternally expressed transcript (H19), HOXA distal transcript antisense RNA (HOTTIP), and GNAS antisense RNA 1 (Nespas) were upregulated, whereas tumor-suppressing lncRNAs, including KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (Kcnq1ot1) and lincRNA-p21, were downregulated in these cells. This evidence concerns the gene GNAS-AS1 and neoplasm.
