CRISPRi-based radiation modifier screen identifies long non-coding RNA therapeutic targets in glioma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exhibit highly cell type-specific expression and function, making this class of transcript attractive for targeted cancer therapy. However, the vast majority of lncRNAs have not been tested as potential therapeutic targets, particularly in the context of currently used cancer treatments. Malignant glioma is rapidly fatal, and ionizing radiation is part of the current...
