Characteristics
linc-MAF-4,a TH1 signature lincRNA, localized 139.5 kb upstream of the MAF gene [1].
Cellular Localization
linc-MAF-4, a chromatin associated CD4+ TH1 specific lincRNA [1].
Function
Linc-MAF-4 plays a key role in T lymphocyte differentiation [1].
Regulation
Linc-MAF-4 down-regulation skewed T cell differentiation toward TH2 [1].
A long-distance interaction between linc-MAF-4 and MAF genomic regions, where linc-MAF-4 associates with LSD1 and EZH2, suggesting linc-MAF-4 regulated MAF transcription by recruitment of chromatin modifiers [1].
Diseases
- allergy
- autoimmunity
- cancer
Expression
Sequencing data showed that high expression of linc-MAF-4 correlated with a low amount of MAF transcript in CD4+ TH1 cells, conversely TH2 cells had low expression of linc-MAF-4 and abundant MAF transcripts [1].
No correlation was observed between the expression linc-MAF-4 and its proximal upstream protein coding genes: CDYL2 and DYNLRB2 [1].
