In colorectal cancer, the as-lncRNA LDLRAD4-AS1 reduces the expression of LDLRAD4 and further upregulates Snail expression by disrupting the stability of LDLRAD4 mRNA, leading to epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT), thereby promoting the metastasis of colorectal cancer [48]. Here, LDLRAD4 is linked to colorectal cancer.
