### LINC01108 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: LINC01108

**Description**: LINC01108 is a long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) that plays a role in the regulation of gene expression. Given its nature as a non-coding RNA, it is primarily involved in various forms of gene regulation, possibly influencing chromatin structure, transcriptional activity, and post-transcriptional processes.

### 1. Associated Genes
LINC01108 has been shown to be associated with various genes, though specific associations may vary depending on the context (cell type, condition studied, etc.). Some genes with which LINC01108 has been linked in research include:

- **TP53**: Known as the tumor protein p53, critical for DNA repair and cell cycle regulation.
- **MIR215**: This microRNA is involved in the regulation of cancer-related processes.
- **FOS**: Part of the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex, it plays a role in cellular proliferation and survival.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Research has suggested that non-coding RNAs, including LINC01108, may have potential roles in aging and age-related diseases. 

- **Cancer**: Modulation of LINC01108 expression levels has been investigated in various cancers, indicating potential roles in tumorigenesis, progression, or response to treatments. 
- **Age-related diseases**: Some studies suggest associations between long non-coding RNAs and aging markers and inflammatory processes, which are relevant in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or cardiovascular diseases.

### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, specific information regarding drugs or drug classes that directly interact with LINC01108 is limited. However, given the involvement of long non-coding RNAs in various forms of gene regulation and cancer, it is plausible that compounds used in oncology might indirectly target pathways that involve LINC01108. Further research may yield drug candidates that modulate its expression or target associated signaling pathways.
