LINC01268 promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and targeting MARCKS

Figure 2 The relative expression of LINC01268 in gastric cancer tissues was compared according to the clinicopathological characteristics. A: The expression level of LINC01268 in the lymph node metastasis group N1-3 (n = 52 cases) of gastric cancer (GC) tissue was significantly higher than that in the N0 group (n = 10 cases) (N1-3: One or more lymph node metastases, N0: No lymph node metastasis); B: The expression level of LINC01268 in the III/IV group (n = 50 cases) of GC tissues was significantly higher than that in the I/II group (n = 12 cases). Expression levels were normalized to the ACTB levels. The results were shown as the mean ± SD. ^aP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.0001.
