Regarding the regulation of autophagy and apoptosis, lncRNA LYPLAL1 divergent transcript (LYPLAL1-DT) is highly upregulated in multi-drug resistant SCLC and promotes resistance to cisplatin, etoposide, and paclitaxel by enhancing autophagy and suppressing apoptosis. This evidence concerns the gene LYPLAL1 and small cell lung carcinoma.
