DICER1-AS1: DICER1-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that has been found to be distinctly related to autophagy in the blood circulation of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) [PMC8426068]. In patients with schizophrenia, the up-regulation of DICER1-AS1 may serve as a compensatory mechanism to enhance autophagy [PMC7581809]. Additionally, DICER1-AS1 has been implicated in mediating the effects of CSR1, a tumor suppressor [PMC8485291]. Furthermore, DICER1-AS1 forms a negative feedback loop with YTHDF3 to facilitate glycolysis [PMC9699722]. In vitro experiments have shown that DICER1-AS1 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells while inhibiting their apoptosis [PMC7568600].
