Abstract Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) taurine-upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) is involved in the development and
carcinogenesis of various tumors, suggesting the diagnostic potential of TUG1 in these cancers. However,
the exact role of TUG1 and its underlying mechanism in gastric cancer (GC) remain unknown. In this study,
the expression of TUG1 and miR-145-5p in GC cell lines and nonmalignant gastric epithelial cell lines was
detected by qRT-PCR. BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells were transfected with si-TUG1, pcDNA 3.1-TUG1,
miR-145-5p mimics, or matched controls. The biological function of TUG1 and miR-145-5p in GC cell
proliferation and invasion in… More >
