Our previous study indicated that Linc00284 plays an important role in CRC progression [12], qPCR analysis showed that knockdown of ALDH1A3 significantly reduced the expression level of Linc00284 (Figure 3(a)), while overexpression of ALDH1A3 upregulated Linc00284 expression markedly (Figure 3(b)). Here, ALDH1A3 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
