Direct association with promoter.

lncRNAs	Cancer type	Functions and phenotype	References
ARHGAP5-AS1	Gastric cancer	ARHGAP5-AS1 interacts with ARHGAP5 promoter directly to promote the transcriptional expression of ARHGAP5. It promotes autophagy activity and allows cell survival in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo.	[129]
LEADeR (MIR205HG)	Prostate cancer	Directly binds to the Alu elements, leads to a transcriptional repression of the target gene possibly via buffering the activity of IRF1 on the promoter.	[136]
