Long noncoding RNA DLEU2 affects the proliferative and invasive ability of colorectal cancer cells

Emerging evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis. One example is lncRNA Deleted in Lymphocytic Leukemia 2 (DLEU2). However, how DLEU2 contributes to CRC is still poorly understood. This study sought to investigate the effects of DLEU2 on CRC pathogenesis, and the underlying mechanism involved. Using a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay,...
