When the tumor cell adhesion network was analyzed in detail, we found several genes downregulated upon LINC-PINT overexpression related with cancer cell migration capacity, such as Early Growth Response 1 (EGR1), Phospholipase D1 (PLD1), Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene (FOS), SERPINE1, Fibronectin1 (FN1), or Integrin alpha 3 (ITGA3) (Fig. 5b and Additional file 1: Figure S4A). Here, LIF is linked to neoplasm.
