Expression of lncRNA LBX2-AS1 in CRC. A Analysis using the online tool GEPIA indicated that LBX2-AS1 expression was increased in CRC samples relative to normal tissues. B Expression of LBX2-AS1 in CRC tissues according to TNM stage using GEPIA. C, D qRT-PCR was used to assess LBX2-AS1 expression in 265 paired normal and CRC tumor tissues (cohort A). For A and C, mean ± s.e.m. were derived from n = 3 independent experiments *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001; Student’s t-test. COAD Colon adenocarcinoma, READ Rectum adenocarcinoma
