Taken together, our study demonstrated that LINC01559 accelerated GC progression via upregulating PGK1 and downregulating PTEN to trigger phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT serine/threonine kinase (PI3K/AKT) pathway, indicating LINC01559 as a potential biomarker for GC treatment. This evidence concerns the gene PTEN and gastric cancer.
