Hypoxia induced LUCAT1/PTBP1 axis modulates cancer cell viability and chemotherapy response

Background Hypoxic tumors are refractory to DNA damage drugs. However, the underlying mechanism has yet to be elucidated. We aimed to identify lncRNAs that upregulated under hypoxia and their effects on colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods CRC cells were treated with 1% O 2 to identify lncRNAs that upregulated under hypoxia. We integrated these lncRNAs with RNA-seq of 4 paired CRC tissues and TCGA data to get candidate lncRNAs. Multiple in vitro and...
