In addition, the knockdown of p53 in K1 and TPC-1 cells partially reversed the inhibitory effect of LINC00673 deficiency on the proliferation and metastasis of PTC cells.
Together, our data suggest that LINC00673-v4 is a driver molecule for metastasis via constitutively activating WNT/β-catenin signaling in LAD and may represent a potential therapeutic target against the metastasis of LAD.
In addition, the low expression of linc00312 was associated with the Tumor‑Node‑Metastasis stage of NSCLC (P<0.05), whereas the high expression of linc00673 was related with the histological types of NSCLC (P<0.05).
In the study, we found that LINC00673 expression was dramatically higher in gastric cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues, and positively associated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and TNM stage in patients.
