LncRNA FAL1 has been demonstrated to play an important role in promoting carcinogenesis via the ceRNA mechanism in several types of cancer. However, the role and the mechanism of lncRNA FAL1 in CRC remain unclear. Here our results demonstrate that lncRNA FAL1 is markedly upregulated in CRC tissues and cells, and lncRNA FAL1 promotes proliferation ability, migration and invasion in CRC cells. Additionally, we demonstrate that lncRNA FAL1 acts as a sponge of miR-637, which functions as a suppressor via targeting and downregulation of NUPR1 expression. Moreover, we demonstrate that lncRNA FAL1 promotes carcinogenesis of CRC cells via regulation of the miR-637/NUPR1 pathway. Taken together, our findings underscore the crucial roles of lncRNA FAL1 in CRC carcinogenesis and its potential prognostic and therapeutic value.

Oxaliplatin is a widely applied anti-cancer drug in clinics for colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. Nonetheless, the treatment efficacy is always limited by the acquisition of chemoresistance in cancer cells. The deregulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FAL1 has been implicated in the tumorigenesis and progression of different malignancies.

Current evidence finds that circulating exosomal lncRNA focally amplified lncRNA on chromosome 1 (FAL1) promotes the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the underlying mechanism of serum extracellular vesicular FAL1 in HCC progression remains elusive. Here, we extracted extracellular vesicles (EVs) from serum samples of HCC patients and healthy volunteers, and found that FAL1 was highly enriched in the serum EVs of HCC patients.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in various cancers, including papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). Genome-wide analysis (GWAS) of lncRNAs expression in PTC samples exhibited up and down regulation of lncRNAs, thus, acting as tumor promoting oncogenes or tumor suppressors in the pathogenesis of PTC by interacting with target genes. For example, lncRNAs such as HOTAIR, NEAT1, MALAT1, FAL1, HOXD-AS1, etc.
