Prediction of the three-lncRNA signature function. a 588 protein-coding genes co-expressed with AC093850.2, LINC00460 and RP11-366H4.1.1 were selected using Pearson correlation coefficients in the lncRNA expression profiles derived from transcriptome RNA-seq analysis of 15 paired ESCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Then the association of the three lncRNAs with 588 protein-coding genes was visualized by software Cytoscape_v2.8.3. GO (b) and KEGG (c) pathway function enrichment analysis for the 588 co-expressed protein-coding genes
