Next, we detected the expression of the 4 lncRNAs in the 40 samples by qRT-PCR assay and found that only LINC00922 was positively correlated with CRLM and negatively correlated with LZTS1 expression (r = −0.6213, P < 0.0001)(Fig. 2E, F); The expression pattern in CRC cell lines were also assessed by qRT-PCR and the results showed that LINC00922 was upregulated in CRC cells. This evidence concerns the gene LZTS1 and colorectal carcinoma.
