Dual-luciferase reporter assays were also carried out to reveal the interaction between miR-346 and the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR) of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) mRNA.Our data demonstrated that overexpression of lncRNA GHRLOS suppressed cancer cell proliferation and invasion as well as promoted cell apoptosis by regulating the expression of CDK2, PCNA, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Bax, and Bcl-2 in NSCLC cells. The gene discussed is CDH2; the disease is cancer.
