cancer-associated lncRNA (CCAL), [3] colon cancer-associated transcript 1 (CCAT1) and colon cancer-associated transcript 2 (CCAT2). [4] Since lncRNAs regulate a subset of genes, and are transcriptionally regulated by a series of transcription factors, targeting these lncRNAs induces a much greater effect on cancer cells than targeting single gene. [5] Therefore, exploring the upstream and downstream regulation mechanism of cancer-associated lncRNAs has been gaining widespread attention.As the main effector of the Hippo pathway, Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) plays a key role in regulating multiple biological function, including cell-cell contact inhibition, proliferation, and differentiation. [6,7] As a transcription coactivator, YAP1 is abnormally expressed in various malignancies, [8,9] and modulates biological phenotypes of cancer cells via regulating a number of target genes, such as CTGF, CYR61, and AREG. [7,8] Recently, a novel regulatory model of YAP1 transcriptionally regulating the noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in CRC has attracted much attention, in which of these noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs (miR-130a [10] and miR-29 [11] ), as well as lncRNAs (RMRP, [12] BCAR4, [13] MALAT1, [14] and lncARSR [15] ). However, the mechanism and As a transcription coactivator, Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1)'s role in tumorigenesis is well established. However, the mechanism of YAP1-regulating long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) in tumors is still largely unknown. Here, a YAP1 target gene, long intergenic noncoding RNA 00152 (LINC00152), which is highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC), is identified. The oncogenic functions of LINC00152 in CRC are demonstrated by a panel of in vitro and in vivo experiments. Further studies reveal the potential downstream mechanisms of LINC00152, which can act as a competing endogenous RNA sponging with miR-632 and miR-185-3p to regulate Fascin actin-bundling protein 1 (FSCN1) expression and thus promote the malignant proliferation and metastasis in CRC cells. Targeting the YAP1/LINC00152/ FSCN1 axis inhibits the progression of CRC. This finding provides a new regulatory model of the "YAP1-lncRNA" in CRC, which gives rise to a new perspective, "YAP1/LINC00152/miR-632-miR-185-3p/FSCN1," to explore the cancer-promoting mechanism of YAP1 involved in CRC.
