First, we confirmed the expression of LINC01852 in CRC cohort 1 (110 NCTs and 110 CRC tissues) by qRT-PCR and revealed that LINC01852 expression was decreased by more than 1.5-fold in 70% (77/110) of the CRC tissues compared to their paired NCTs (Fig. 1A). Here, LINC01852 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
