Long non-coding RNA XIST: a novel oncogene in multiple cancers
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) is an important lncRNA derived from the XIST gene in mammals. XIST is abnormally expressed in numerous tumors, in most of which XIST functions as an oncogene. XIST is involved in multiple

XIST and MUC1-C form an auto-regulatory pathway in driving cancer progression
The long non-coding RNA X-inactive specific transcript (lncRNA XIST) and MUC1 gene are dysregulated in chronic inflammation and cancer; however, there is no known interaction of their functions.

XIST/Xist-induced epigenetic events in somatic cells
Mammalian dosage compensation of X-linked genes is achieved between XX females and XY males by silencing one of the two X chromosomes. It is the expression of a functional non-coding RNA transcript, XIST that is responsible for the initiation of silencing during X-chromosome inactivation. XIST expression and subsequent in cis localization to the future

LncRNA XIST promotes bladder cancer progression by modulating miR-129-5p/TNFSF10 axis
Background The differential expression, biological function, and ceRNA regulatory mechanism of lncRNA XIST in bladder cancer (BC) were investigated, and its clinical values for the early diagnosis of bladder cancer patients were elucidated.

LncRNA XIST regulates breast cancer stem cells by activating proinflammatory IL-6/STAT3 signaling [PDF]
Aberrant expression of XIST, a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) initiating X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in early embryogenesis, is a common feature of breast cancer (BC). However, the roles of post-XCI XIST in breast carcinogenesis remain elusive.

The X Factor in Immunity: Sex Differences Shaped by the X Chromosome. [PDF]
ABSTRACT There are sex differences with immune responses where females exhibit stronger immune responses compared to males. Both sex hormones and sex chromosome differences between males and females contribute to the observed sex differences with innate and adaptive immune cell composition and function.

Sex Matters: Hormonal and Chromosomal Determinants of Autoimmunity and Anti-Cancer Immunity Across the Lifespan. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Sex plays a key role in shaping both anti‐cancer immunity and autoimmunity. Biological factors underlying sexual dimorphism have now been identified in multiple aspects of anti‐cancer immunity and autoimmunity. These factors include sex differences in hormone levels, chromosome complement, and expression of the long non‐coding RNA XIST.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) make up the majority of the human genome. They are a group of small RNA molecules that do not code for any proteins but play a primary role in regulating a variety of physiological and pathological processes. X-inactive specific transcript (XIST), one of the first lncRNAs to be discovered, is chiefly responsible for X ...
