The corresponding LINC00518 is of particular interest: it is overexpressed in melanoma and has been suggested to promote metastasis by acting as a “miRNA sponge”44,45 and has recently been identified as a major survival factor for melanoma by promoting oxidative phosphorylation, and thus renamed Lenox.46 Finally, the peptide derived from the translation of ORF549–905 from LINC00518 was identified in two melanoma cell lines and its expression was enhanced by thapsigargin-induced reticular stress. Here, LINC00518 is linked to melanoma.
