Abstract Choriocarcinoma is one of the gestational trophoblastic neoplasias (GTNs) that originate in the chorionic villi
and the extravillous trophoblast. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a type of non-protein-coding RNAs
that have recently been implicated in human tumorigenesis. The present study investigated the role of the
lncRNA LINC00261 in cell proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis in choriocarcinoma cell lines. The transcription level of LINC00261 was significantly lower in choriocarcinoma tissues and in choriocarcinoma cell
lines. Overexpression of LINC00261 caused a decrease in cell proliferation and arrested the cell cycle at the
G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, overexpression of LINC00261 inhibited More >
