Abstract
Yong et al. methodically evaluated the role of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) DLEU2/miR-529-3p/HOXB2 axis in Wilm's tumor pathogenesis [1]. Through a set of nicely designed experimental studies, the investigators examined the expression of the novel lncRNA DLEU2 in primary Wilm's tumor tissue, Wilm's tumor cell lines, and a xenograft model, and evaluated its regulation by the microRNA miR-539-3p and involvement in expression of the oncogene HOXB2. While previously found to have relevance in other malignancies, this is the first comprehensive evaluation of the expression of these nucleotides with Wilm's tumor progression.
