Furthermore, we assessed the association between NEAT1 mRNA and miR-377-3p expression in 96 NSCLC lung tissues as well, and results indicated the expression of NEAT1 mRNA and miR-377-3p showed a remarkably negative correlation as analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis (r2=0.2842, P <0.0001) (Figure 5G). The gene discussed is NEAT1; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
