And then, trypan blue staining, CCK8 and colony formation assay were conducted to examine the role of LINC00858 on NSCLC cell growth, and our results revealed knockdown of LINC00858 contributed to a reduction in the cell growth of A549 and SPC-A-1 cells than that of in their blank counterparts (Fig. 2A-E). The gene discussed is LINC00858; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
