The long non-coding RNA ERIC is regulated by E2F and modulates the cellular response to DNA damage

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The human genome encodes thousands of unique long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and these transcripts are emerging as critical regulators of gene expression and cell fate. However, the transcriptional regulation of their expression is not fully understood. The pivotal transcription factor E2F1 which can induce both proliferation and cell death, is a critical downstream target of the tumor suppressor, RB....
