Further clinical correlation analysis using GEPIA2 (http://gepia2.cancer-pku.cn, accessed on 10 June 2025) revealed upregulation of LOC401312 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) tissues compared to adjacent normal controls (Figure 1F), identifying this significantly enriched radiosensitizing lncRNA with established disease relevance as a foremost candidate for mechanistic dissection. This evidence concerns the gene STEAP1B and lung adenocarcinoma.
