More than half of all cancers demonstrate aberrant c-Myc expression, making this arguably the most important human oncogene. Deregulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are also commonly implicated in tumorigenesis, and some limited examples have been established where lncRNAs act as biological tuners of c-Myc expression and activity. Here, we demonstrate that the lncRNA denoted c-Myc Enhancing Factor (MEF) enjoys a cooperative relationship with c-Myc, both as a transcriptional target and driver of c-Myc expression.

Gastric cancer (GC) is characterized by high incidence and mortality, and lacks effective treatment. Surgery, combined with chemo- and radiation therapy, represents the cornerstones of GC treatment. Although platinum is commonly used, severe side effects and drug resistance limited its application.
