Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n LINC00473 is a long non‐coding RNA that modulates oncogenic signaling in a tissue‐specific manner. In mucoepidermoid carcinoma, its transcription is robustly induced by the CRTC1–MAML2 fusion oncoprotein through CREB‐mediated activation, and it functions by binding to the cAMP pathway component NONO to further enhance CREB‐dependent transcription. This activity promotes tumor cell proliferation and survival, making LINC00473 a critical downstream mediator of CRTC1–MAML2 oncogenic functions."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n \n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n In osteosarcoma, LINC00473 is repressed by the transcriptional repressor ZBTB7A in cisplatin‐resistant cells. Under normal conditions, LINC00473 interacts with the transcription factor C/EBPβ to facilitate its binding to the IL24 promoter, thereby reducing chemoresistance. These findings highlight a role for LINC00473 in modulating cell sensitivity to chemotherapy."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n \n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n Moreover, LINC00473 is overexpressed in fibrolamellar carcinoma, forming part of a distinct messenger RNA and lincRNA signature that underscores aberrant protein kinase A signaling.
