PELATON and colorectal carcinoma: In addition, we further analysed the expression of LINC01272 in 27 pairs of CRC tissues and adjacent normal mucosal tissues using qRT-PCR, and the results showed that LINC01272 was prominently overexpressed in colorectal cancer (P < 0.001) (Figure 1c), indicating that LINC01272 may facilitate CRC carcinogenesis.
