Abstract

Significance: The molecular mechanisms used by noncoding RNAs to regulate gene expression are largely unknown. We have discovered a previously unidentified regulatory phenomenon underlying the transcriptional activation of the intermediate filament protein vimentin. This regulation involves the participation of a previously uncharacterized head-to-head antisense transcript that forms part of a hybrid DNA:RNA structure known as the R loop. R loops have been the focus of recent research regarding their unexpected involvement in gene expression regulation. Antisense-mediated formation of the R loop supports a local chromatin environment that ensures the optimal binding of vimentin transcriptional activators. In addition, we describe how hypermethylation of the locus in a large panel of colon cancer patients is correlated with antisense silencing and, thereby, compromises its regulatory activity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
