A KRAS-responsive long non-coding RNA controls microRNA processing

Wild-type KRAS amplification is known to induce KRAS activation in cancer leading to poor prognostic outcomes. Here the authors identify a KRAS-responsive lncRNA, KIMAT1 that maintains KRAS signalling in lung cancer, suggesting that its targeting may prevent KRAS-driven tumourigenesis.
