OBJECTIVE: Recent researches have proved that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in tumorigenesis. In this research, lncRNA CCAT5 was explored to identify its role in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was utilized to measure CCAT5 expression of CRC tissues. Besides, function assays … Continue reading Downregulating long non-coding RNA CCAT5 inhibits tumor growth, invasion and metastasis in colorectal cancer through suppressing STAT3
