LINC01089 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: To delve into the expression characteristics of LINC01089 in NSCLC tissues and cells, we first demonstrated through the GEPIA database () that LINC01089 expression was dramatically down-regulated in both lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) tissues and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tissues compared with normal lung tissues (Fig. 1a, b).
