  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>Gains of the MYC gene are the most common imbalances in cancer and are associated with poor prognosis, particularly in B-cell lymphoma. Recent advances in DNA sequencing have revealed the existence of thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) with unknown functional relevance. We have here identified a MYC-regulated lncRNA that we named MYC-induced long noncoding RNA (MINCR) that has a strong correlation with MYC expression in cancer. We show that MINCR is functional and controls cell cycle progression by influencing the expression of MYC-regulated cell cycle genes. MINCR is, therefore, a novel player in MYC’s transcriptional network, with the potential to open new therapeutic windows in the fight against malignant lymphoma and, possibly, all cancers that rely on MYC expression.</jats:p>
