Compared with the control cells, LINC00673-overexpressing cells showed increased expression levels of cyclin A2 and cyclin E. The expressions of stromal cell markers Snail and N-cadherin were also increased in LINC00673-overexpressing cells, suggesting that LINC00673 may promote the transformation of tumor cells from epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells. This evidence concerns the gene CDH2 and neoplasm.
