Silencing of TALNEC2 in MCF-7 breast cancer cells by two specific siRNAs (Figure 2A) resulted in a significant increase in the number of cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and a concomitant reduction in the number of cells in S phase suggesting that TALNEC2 may have a role in G1 exit (Figures 2B, 2C). This evidence concerns the gene LINC01116 and breast carcinoma.
