In addition, a mount number of lncRNAs including lncRNA-ANRIL, lncRNA MEG3, lncRNA-MIAT and lncRNA-AK058003 have been identified as key regulators of several biological behaviors, including proliferation, apoptosis, invasion as well as metastasis of GC [33–37]. This evidence concerns the gene CDKN2B-AS1 and gastric cancer.
