To verify the expression of LINC01116 in glioma tissue, we analysed the RNASeqV2 data (level3) in the TCGA database (https://cancergenome.nih.gov/) and the chip data of the GEO database (GSE4290), and found that LINC01116 was significantly upregulated in glioma tissues (P < 0.05) (Fig. 1a). This evidence concerns the gene LINC01116 and central nervous system cancer.
