And the pathway analysis showed LINC00476 might play a role in cancer related signaling pathways such as regulation of Ras family activation, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, senescence and autophagy in cancer, PTK2 signaling, extracellular matrix metabolism, FGF signaling pathway, oxytocin signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, etc. (Additional file 2: Figure S2A). This evidence concerns the gene OXT and cancer.
