Increased expression of long-noncoding RNA ZFAS1 is associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition of gastric cancer
Figure 2. Relative expression level of lncRNA ZFAS1 in 77 paired GC plasmas and 60 healthy controls. (A) ZFAS1 was highly expressed in GC patients compared to healthy controls (P < 0.0001) and patients after surgical treatment (P < 0.0001). (B-D) ZFAS1 was highly expressed in patients with high TNM stage (B), depth invasion (C), and distant metastasis (D). The relative expression level was calculated using 2-ΔCT method. **, P < 0.01, *, P < 0.05. Statistical analyses were conducted by Wilcoxon test (A) and Mann-Whitney U test (B, C, D and E).
