Disease
Disease Method Sample Expression pattern Dysfunction type Description PMID Source
ovarian cancer knockdown ovarian cancer cell lines up-regulated expression These results demonstrate the utility of this integrated approach to identify oncogenic lncRNAs and suggest that FAL1 may represent a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in ovarian cancer. FAL1 is an oncogenic lncRNA that promotes cancer cell growth in part via repression of p21. 25367941
ovarian cancer qPCR N/A N/A interaction FAL1 associates with the epigenetic repressor BMI1 and regulates its stability in order to modulate the transcription of a number of genes including CDKN1A. The oncogenic activity of FAL1 is partially attributable to its repression of p21. FAL1- specific siRNAs significantly inhibit tumor growth in vivo. 25203321
papillary thyroid carcinoma qRT-PCR PTC and normal thyroid tissues up-regulated N/A FAL1 expression was significantly higher in PTC 26825907
 


Interaction
Interaction target Level of interaction Type of interaction Description PMID Source
ECM1 RNA-RNA co-expression Depletion of ncRNA-a1 (activating long ncRNA 1, LINC00568), results in decreased ECM1 levels, suggesting a direct activating function of ncRNA-a1 on its neighboring gene. 21502407 LncRNADisease
BMI1 RNA-DNA regulation FAL1 associates with the epigenetic repressor BMI1 and regulates its stability in order to modulate the transcription of a number of genes including CDKN1A. 25203321
p21 RNA-DNA regulation The oncogenic activity of FAL1 is partially attributable to its repression of p21. 25203321
BMI1 RNA-Protein regulation The oncogenic activity of FAL1 was mediated in part by its interaction with BMI1, a component of the chromatin-modifying Polycomb repressive complex 1, which resulted in increased stabilization of BMI1 protein and transcriptional repression of genes involved in processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis. 25367941
