Overexpression of EGFR-AS1 in primary malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). EGFR-AS1 lncRNA expression was examined by RT-PCR in a series of primary MPM (n = 17) versus benign pleura (n = 5). Semi-quantitative densitometric analysis of the results determined that EGFR-AS1 lncRNA was significantly elevated in the tumours compared to benign pleura. Statistical significance was assessed using a 1-tailed unpaired Students t-test (* p = 0.0445).
