Fig. 1: LINC00641 expression is downâregulated in LUAD and its characterization.

A LINC00641 expression data in TCGA LUAD dataset (58 normal vs 488 tumor tissues) was downloaded from the TANRIC website (https://ibl.mdanderson.org/tanric/_design/basic/main.html). The results were expressed as the meanâÂąâSEM. **MannâWhitney Uâtest, Pâ<â0.01. B LINC00641 expression in tumor tissues of different TNM stages in TCGA LUAD dataset. The results were expressed as the meanâÂąâSEM. **Kruskal Wallis test, Pâ<â0.01. C KaplanâMeier curves for relapse free survival (RFS) of LUAD patients expressing high and low expression levels of LINC00641 in TCGA LUAD dataset. *Logârank test, Pâ<â0.05. D Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) assays in A549 cells to detect the whole sequence of LINC00641. Left: sequencing of PCR products indicated the boundary between the universal anchor primer and LINC00641 sequences. Right: a gel electrophoresis image of PCR products from the 5â˛-RACE and 3â˛-RACE assays. E The coding potential of LINC00641. Coding potentials of lncRNA (LINC00641, MALAT1 and lncRNA-LET) and mRNA (GAPDH, ACTB) were calculated using CPAT (https://wlcb.oit.uci.edu/cpat/) and CPC2 (http://cpc2.gao-lab.org/index.php). F The subcellular localization of LINC00641 in LncATLAS database. G qRT-PCR detection of the percentage of LINC00641 and GAPDH in the nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions of A549 and H1299 cells. GAPDH served as the cytoplasmic localization control.
