In the future work, we will explore the mechanism of CCDC144NL-AS1 upregulation in GC, the correlation between CCDC144NL-AS1 and other miRNAs or proteins, which will further deepen our understanding of the pathogenesis of GC and make CCDC144NL-AS1 a potential novel diagnostic and therapeutic target for GC. This evidence concerns the gene CCDC144NL and gastric cancer.
