Concurrently, RT‐qPCR was conducted to determine the expression patterns of LINC00472 and ZEB1 in the normal immortalized human pancreatic epithelial cell line hTERT‐HPNE and four human pancreatic cancer cell lines SW1990, BXPC3, Capan‐2 and PANC‐1, the results of which demonstrated that the expression pattern of LINC00472 was lower while the expression pattern of ZEB1 was significantly higher in the pancreatic cancer cells compared with the hTERT‐HPNE cells (Figure 1F). The gene discussed is ZEB1; the disease is pancreatic neoplasm.
