To assess the effects of LINC00941 expression on PC cell proliferation and metastatic potential, MIA PaCa-2, and PANC-1 cells were either transduced with lentivirus encoding short interfering RNAs for LINC00941 suppression, or transduced with lentivirus encoding LINC00941 cassettes for LINC00941 overexpression. The gene discussed is LINC00941; the disease is pachyonychia congenita.
