For instance, NF‐κB transcriptionally upregulated LINC01410 expression in gastric cancer, which further promoted the angiogenesis and metastasis of gastric cancer (Zhang et al., 2018); moreover, the STAT3‐mediated upregulation of lncRNA HOXD‐AS1 contributed to lung metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma by preventing SOX4 degradation induced by miR‐130a‐3p (Wang et al., 2017). This evidence concerns the gene STAT3 and gastric cancer.
