LINC01116 could mediate the expression of CDCA4 by competitively binding the sites of CDCA4 with miR-744-5p, which markedly increased cell growth in LAD (Ren et al., 2021)Numerous experiments have shown that LINC01116 is overexpressed in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and that it could upregulate STAT3 to boost SCLC cell invasion and migration. The gene discussed is CDCA4; the disease is small cell lung carcinoma.
