LINC00852 and neoplasm: LINC00852 expression in tumor tissues was significantly down-regulated in sh-LINC00852-1 group than sh-NC group, whereas there was no significant difference between control and sh-NC groups, and miR-140-3p expression in tumor tissues was significantly up-regulated in sh-LINC00852-1 group than sh-NC group, whereas there was no significant difference between control and sh-NC groups (Fig. 6e).
