For example, increasing evidence has highlighted lncRNAs may play a critical role in tumorigenesis and prognosis of NSCLC (Sun et al., 2014; Zhou et al., 2015), and we also found that lncRNA-CBR3-AS1 exert oncogenic functions in NSCLC by targeting SOD1 (data not yet published) and this will be discussed in other articles. Here, CBR3 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
