Compared to para-cancer tissues, high expression of LINC01296 in NSCLC tissues down-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of E-cadherin and promoted the mRNA and protein expression of vimentin and MMP-9, indicating LINC01296 to be involved in regulating the EMT process and promoting invasion and metastasis of NSCLC [72]. This evidence concerns the gene CDH1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
