Additionally, according to the reports of Chen et al., there is a positive relevance between the expression of the lncRNA MINCR and the proliferation of lung cancer cells, which indicates that silencing of MINCR reduces cell proliferation in PC9 cells via reducing the expression levels of cell cycle protein A, cell cycle protein D, CD4 and CDK2 (Chen et al., 2019). The gene discussed is MINCR; the disease is lung cancer.
