Although the expression levels of the other two transcripts of DLGAP1-AS2 ((NR_119377.1 and ENST00000572856.1) were much lower than that of the identified novel transcript in most cancer cells checked, our preliminary functional investigations showed that they also showed cancer-promoting functions in CRC cells (data not shown), suggesting that they may also play a role under specific psychological and pathological conditions. This evidence concerns the gene DLGAP1 and cancer.
