LncRNA LINC00941, also known as MSC upregulated factor (lncRNA-MUF), was first identified as an oncogene in gastric cancer by Luo et al. They found that LINC00941 was overexpression in the tissues of gastric cancer compared with adjacent normal tissues and its aberrant expression was related to invasion depth, TNM stage, and lymphatic metastasis50. This evidence concerns the gene LINC00941 and gastric cancer.
