Annotated Information

Name

LIVAR:liver cell viability associated lncRNA.

lnc18q22.2[1]

Characteristics

The total length of the lnc18q22.2 transcript on chromosome 18 is estimated to be 633 bp.[1]

Cellular Localization

Lnc18q22.2 is mainly present in the cytoplasm.[1]

Function

Association of lnc18q22.2 expression with different degrees of NASH[1].

Lnc18q22.2 is ignificantly association with NASH (Nonalcoholic steatohepatiti)grade , lobular inflammation, and NAS (AFLD activity score). In addition, lnc18q22.2 is also significantly associated with liver steatosis and steatohepatitis(including ASH (alcoholic steatohepatit) and NASH) in 44 independent liver biopsies. The silencing of lnc18q22.2 expression results in reduced growth in HepG2 and IHH cells and promoted cell death in Huh7 and Hep3B cells .[1]

Expression

Lnc18q22.2 is predominantly expressed in liver tissue and in the HCC (hepatocellular carcino)cell line HepG2.[1]

Diseases

Nonalcoholic steatohepatiti[1]

Labs working on this lncRNA
