Nevertheless, cell viability decreased significantly upon LINC00152 knockdown in the cell lines NCI-H460, HEK293, U2OS and hTERT-RPE1 derived from lung cancer, embryonic kidney, osteosarcoma and retina, respectively (Fig. 4e), indicating a broadly relevant function of LINC00152 in cell proliferation. The gene discussed is CYTOR; the disease is lung cancer.
