Identification and functional analysis of lncRNAs and mRNAs between tumorigenesis and metastasis in CRC.

ABSTRACT: The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis and metastasis remains poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to identify novel lncRNAs and their functions in CRC progression. Through microarray analysis of paired normal colorectal mucosa (NM), primary tumor (PT), and metastatic lymph node (MLN) tissues, lncRNA and mRNA expression patterns were identified. Further bioinformatic analyses were performed to compare the biological functions of lncRNAs between tumorigenesis and metastasis of CRC, which was further verified by TCGA-COAD and GSE82236. The expression of lncRNA MIR29B2CHG93 in paired CRC tissues was detected in a cohort of CRC patients. The effects of lncRNA MIR29B2CHG93 on proliferation, migration, and invasion were determined by in
