The long non-coding RNA LINC01013 enhances invasion of human anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare type of highly malignant, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Currently, only studies on the chimeric oncogene NPM-ALK have reported a link to ALCL progression. However, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying the invasion of ALCL are still unclear. Here, we sought to investigate differentially expressed, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in ALCL and their potential biological function. Our microarray analyses revealed that LINC01013, a novel non-coding RNA gene, was highly expressed in clinical specimens of ALCL and was significantly upregulated in invasive ALCL cell lines. Knockdown of LINC01013 suppressed tumor cell invasion; conversely, its overexpression enhanced tumor cell invasion. LINC01013-induced invasion was mediated by activation of the
