Annotated Information
Approved Symbol
FALEC
Approved Name
FALEC:focally amplified long non-coding RNA in epithelial cancer FAL1; ncRNA-a1; LINC00568
Characteristics
FALEC is a long noncoding RNA is located in a focal amplicon on chromosome 1q21.2. [1]
Function
FALEC is associated with the epigenetic repressor BMI1 and regulates its stability in order to modulate the transcription of a number of genes including CDKN1A [1]. The up-regulation of FALEC is connected with the poor prognosis of patients with melanoma [2]. FALEC could accelerate the proliferation of melanoma cells through influencing the cell cycle and apoptosis [1] Knockdown of FALEC blocks the metastasis, invasion and EMT process [2]. LncRNA FALEC is negatively correlated with p21 in melanoma tumorigenesis [2]. FALEC epigenetically silences p21 via binding to EZH2 [2]

Expression
FALEC is highly expressed in melanoma tissues and cell lines [2] After stratifying the 128 late-stage ovarian cancer patients with FALEC RNA expression (cut-off, median expression) or gene amplification status, we found that both higher expression of FALEC RNA and genomic gain of FALEC gene were significantly associated with decreased survival in patients (p<0.0001 and p=0.03, respectively.
