Yu, et al. reported that lnRNA TP73-AS1 is significantly downregulated in non-small cell lung cancer as compared to normal lung tissues (P<0.001), but it is strongly upregulated in large-cell carcinoma specimens compared to adenocarcinoma, small-cell lung cancer and squamous cell carcinoma tissues [37]. The gene discussed is TP73; the disease is squamous cell carcinoma.
