Long non-coding RNA CASC2 induces apoptosis and autophagy in human colon cancer cells via modulation of TRIM16 expression.

Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been shown to be involved in diverse cellular and physiological processes. Recent studies have proved their potential as the prospective therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. Herein, we examined the role of LncRNA CASC2 in human colon cancer.
