A long non-coding RNA HOTTIP expression is associated with disease progression and predicts outcome in small cell lung cancer patients

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Despite progress in treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), the biology of the tumor still remains poorly understood. Recently, we globally investigated the contributions of lncRNA in SCLC with a special focus on sponge regulatory network. Here we report lncRNA HOTTIP, which is specifically amplified in SCLC, is associated with SCLC proliferation and poor prognosis of patients. METHODS: RT-qPCR...
