Meanwhile, RT-qPCR showed that the lncRNA MBNL1-AS1 expression in CSCs of NSCLC was lower than the expression observed in non-CSCs (p < 0.05, Fig. 3c), and FISH supported the presence of lncRNA MBNL1-AS1 in the cytoplasm of NSCLC CSCs (p < 0.05, Fig. 3d). The gene discussed is MBNL1; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
