LAST is positively regulated by c-Myc.

(A) P493-6 cells carrying a c-Myc tet-off system were treated with doxycycline (1 μg/mL) for 24 hr. The levels of five lncRNAs (lncRNA-5639,–51, −52,–5630 and −5690) and the positive control CDK4 were assessed by real-time RT–PCR analysis. Data shown are the mean ± SD (n = 3; ***p<0.001, two-tailed t-test). Cell lysates were also analyzed by western blotting with the indicated antibodies to ensure that gene expression was controlled by c-Myc.

Box plots showing the differential expression of LAST and CCND1 between normal (n = 4) and tumor (n = 177) samples. Statistical analysis was performed using the two-tailed t-test (***p<0.001). (E) Data for the LAST and CCND1 expression levels in PRAD (prostate adenocarcinoma) tumor and normal tissues were downloaded from the TCGA dataset. Box plots showing the differential expression of LAST and CCND1 between normal (n = 52) and tumor (n = 495) samples. Statistical analysis was performed using the two-tailed t-test (*p<0.05, ***p<0.001). (F) Data for the LAST and CCND1 expression levels in STAD (stomach adenocarcinoma) tumor and normal tissues were downloaded from the TCGA dataset. Box plots showing the differential expression of LAST and CCND1 between normal (n = 32) and tumor (n = 375) samples. Statistical analysis was performed using the two-tailed t-test (**p<0.01, ***p<0.001). (G) Data for the LAST and CCND1 expression levels in UCEC (uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma) tumor and normal tissues were downloaded from the TCGA dataset. Box plots showing the differential expression of LAST and CCND1 between normal (n = 23) and tumor (n = 543) samples. Statistical analysis was performed using the two-tailed t-test (**p<0.01).
