Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical functions in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) growth. In the present study, we showed that lncRNA‑CCAT1 was upregulated in NSCLC tissues. High expression of lncRNA‑CCAT1 was related to tumor growth and reduced survival rate. We used short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) to inhibit the expression of lncRNA‑CCAT1 in NSCLC cells. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that lncRNA‑CCAT1 knockdown suppressed tumor proliferation and induced apoptosis. Furthermor ...[more]
