Description:

LINC01021 (also designated LOC643401 or RP11-46C20.1) is a direct p53 target when p53 mediates response to DNA damage, and its expression is highly dependent on p53 in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. By CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of the MER61C LTR (an ERV1-derived LTR) in which the LINC01021 promoter and the p53 binding site lie, transcription of LINC01021 in p53-proficient colorectal cancer cells was ablated, resulting in hypersensitivity towards chemotherapeutic treatments. LINC01021 contributes to cellular survival in response to genotoxic stress by suppressing apoptosis.
