And in a recent study, LncRNAs of A. baumanni was known to regulate the autophagy mechanism by up regulating the growth arrest specific transcript-5 (GAS5), leading to the degradation of STX17, a key molecule in the formation of autophagosomes in both the infected and the cancerous cells. A. baumannii thus evades from autophagy, promoting the IFN-α in the organs and tumour tissues alleviating the injury process [7]. Here, GAS5 is linked to neoplasm.
