Our data demonstrated upregulation of lncRNA CTBP1-DT in HGSOC tissues compared to normal fallopian tube tissues and relatively higher expression in ovarian carcinoma cell lines than in other types of tumour cell lines, such as oesophageal carcinoma, angiosarcoma and clear cell renal cell carcinoma cell lines. The gene discussed is CTBP1; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
