LINC01806 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Likewise, according to the results of sphere formation assay, we discovered that less and smaller spheres could be formed by LINC01806-deficient NSCLC cells, which meant that LINC01806 depletion lowered the sphere formation efficiency of NSCLC cells (Fig. 2B), which further testified that inhibition of LINC01806 attenuated cell stemness in NSCLC.
