Analysis of ZNF561-AS1 level in various CRC cell lines consisting of SW620, HCT-116, HT-29, SW480, SW48 and LoVo cells showed that ZNF561-AS1 expression was increased in all CRC cell lines compared to non-malignant human colon epithelial cell line, CCD841 CoN (Fig. 1c), with HCT-116 expressing the highest ZNF561-AS1 levels. Here, ZNF561 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
