MACC1 and gastric cancer: However, a recent study by Zhao et al. [73] revealed the mechanism that MACC1-AS1 (antisense lncRNA of transcription factor MACC1) activates the AMPK/Lin28 (an RNA-binding protein) pathway, stabilizes MACC1 mRNA and enhances its transcriptional activity, and promotes glycolysis in gastric cancer cells.
