Targeting Myeloma Cell Metabolism Via Disruption of the Lnc-17-92 Transcriptional Program: Druggable New Vulnerability in Multiple Myeloma

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) are major regulators of chromatin dynamics and gene expression. We have recently performed deep RNA sequencing of CD138+ cells from 360 uniformly-treated, newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients (IFM/DFCI 2009) and described the lncRNA landscape and their role as independent risk predictors for clinical outcome in MM. Moreover, we have identified one of these lncRNAs - lnc-17-92 - as an independent risk...
