In H. pylori-infected GC, a decreased expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-8 was detected after knockdown of plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (lncPVT1) and the migration of GC cells was inhibited, suggesting that lncPVT1 might activate immune function to affect GC caused by H. pylori (77). Here, CXCL8 is linked to gastric cancer.
