Long noncoding RNA LINC00978 promotes cell proliferation and invasion in non‑small cell lung cancer by inhibiting miR‑6754‑5p.

Long noncoding RNA LINC00978 has been reported to regulate the progression of several human types of cancer, including gastric and breast cancer. However, knowledge on LINC00978 in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is limited. In the present study, it was demonstrated that LINC00978 expression was significantly upregulated in NSCLC tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissues.
