A few highlights from the paper:

Key finding: The LINC01432–CELF2 axis (Long non-coding RNA-protein interaction) suppresses apoptosis in multiple myeloma, highlighting a novel mechanism of disease progression.

Approach: Combined RNA-seq profiling, ChIRP/iCLIP pulldown assays, and CRISPR-mediated functional assays identified LINC01432 as a top lncRNA associated with poor prognosis. CRISPR-mediated knockdown of LINC01432 expression results in upregulation of genes associated with interferon-α/γ responses and increases apoptosis.

Significance & future steps: Targeting the LINC01432–CELF2 interaction may offer a new therapeutic dimension for treatment-resistant multiple myeloma.
