Abstract: Although numerous long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were reported to be deregulated in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), experimentally characterized, and/or associated with patient's clinical characteristics, there is, thus far, minimal concerted research strategy to identify deregulated lncRNAs that modulate prognosis of HCC patients. Here, we present a novel strategy where we identify lncRNAs, which are not only de-regulated in HCC patients, but are also associated with pertinent clinical characteristics, potentially contributing to the prognosis of HCC patients. LOC101926913 (LOC) was further characterized because it is the most highly differentially expressed amongst those that are associated with the most number of clinical features (tumor-stage, vascular and tumor invasion and poorer overall survival). Experimental gain- and loss-of-function manipulation of LOC in liver cell-lines highlight LOC as a potential onco-lncRNA promoting cell proliferation, anchorage independent growth and invasion. LOC expression in cells up-regulated genes involved in GTPase-activities and downregulated genes associated with cellular detoxification, oxygen- and drug-transport. Hence, LOC may represent a novel therapeutic target, modulating prognosis of HCC patients through up-regulating GTPase-activities and down-regulating detoxification, oxygen- and drug-transport. This strategy may thus be useful for the identification of clinically relevant lncRNAs as potential biomarkers/targets that modulate prognosis in other cancers as well.
