LINC00839 Promotes the Progression of Gastric Cancer by Sponging miR-1236-3p

In this paper, LINC00839 expression in gastric cancer (GC) was confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR. The function of LINC00839 in GC was detected by loss of function assays. Luciferase assays was performed to confirm the interaction between LINC00839 and miR-1236-3p . Then we investigated the regulatory effect of LINC00839 on miR-1236-3p . The results confirmed that the expression level of LINC00839 in GC was significantly up-regulated. LINC00839 could promote GC cell proliferation, mobility, and invasion. The detection of luciferase reporter gene confirmed that LINC000839 could bind to the binding site of miR-1236-3p . Our findings suggest that LINC00839 promotes GC progression through sponging miR-1236-3p .
