Long noncoding RNA linc00598 regulates CCND2 transcription and modulates the G1 checkpoint.

ABSTRACT: Data derived from genomic and transcriptomic analyses have revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important roles in the transcriptional regulation of various genes. Recent studies have identified the mechanism underlying this function. To date, a variety of noncoding transcripts have been reported to function in conjunction with epigenetic regulator proteins. In this study, we investigated the function of linc00598, which is transcribed by a genomic sequence on chromosome 13, downstream of FoxO1 and upstream of COG6. Microarray analysis showed that linc00598 regulates the transcription of specific target genes, including those for cell cycle regulators. We discovered that linc00598 regulates CCND2 transcription through modulation of the transcriptional regulatory effect of FoxO1
