The aberrant reduction in expression of lncRNA LINC00152 in colon cancer cell lines was observed by Zhang et al. They reported that the lentivirus-based transient expression of LINC00152 in SW480 and HT-29 CRC cell lines reduced the viability of cancerous cells and simultaneously promoted apoptosis by up-regulating the expression of FasL and down-regulating expression of Bcl-2 [146]. This evidence concerns the gene FASLG and colorectal carcinoma.
