Fig. 1From: RETRACTED ARTICLE: Decreased expression of the long noncoding RNA LINC00261 indicate poor prognosis in gastric cancer and suppress gastric cancer metastasis by affecting the epithelial–mesenchymal transitionDecreased expression of LINC00261 in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. a LINC00261 expression is analyzed based on GSE13911 database. b Real-time PCR analysis of LINC00261 expression in normal gastric epithelial cell line (GES-1) and gastric cancer cells. Experiments were performed in triplicate. Bars: SD; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. c Examined LINC00261 expression by qRT-PCR in 138 paired human gastric cancer tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues (paired t test, P < 0.001). Data are represented as log2-fold changes (cancer/normal), with “<−1” indicating underexpression and “>1” indicating overexpression. The patients were divided into a low LINC00261 expression group (69) and a high LINC00261 expression group (69), according to the median value of relative LINC00261 expression (3.8-fold, noncancerous/tumors). d, e ROC curves were conducted for prediction of gastric cancer tissues based on GSE13911 database and using qPCR-based LINC00261 expression level. The AUC was 0.921 (d) and 0.812 (e)Back to article page
