DANCR is an oncogenic lncRNA which induces several cancer-promoting effects, such as promotion of angiogenesis and epigenetic silencing of tumor-suppressors; it also regulates cancer-promoting signaling pathways such as the Wnt/β-catenin, JAK/STAT, Notch, and PI3K/AKT pathways (reviewed in [93]). This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and cancer.
