Therefore, we examined the expression of LINC01426 in 16 fresh GBM tissues and 5 malignant cell lines, the level of LINC01426 is remarkably elevated in GBM tissues and cancer cell lines compared with normal tissues and cell lines (Fig. 1c, d).These preliminary findings suggested that LINC01426 might be an important regulator in the development of GBM and motivated us to further characterize its functions in GBM. Here, LINC01426 is linked to glioblastoma.
