DANCR upregulation is indicative of poor prognosis in lung cancer. A, The DANCR expression levels of normal lung tissues (n = 11) and lung cancer specimens (n = 32) were analyzed by qRT-PCR. B, The lung cancer specimens were divided into several grades according to World Health Organization (WHO) standard. C, The DANCR expression levels of normal lung cells BEAS-2B and lung cancer cells (NCI-H1299, A549, and NCI-H1975) were tested by qRT-PCR and were normalized to BEAS-2B group. Data were presented as mean (SD) from 3 independent experiments with triple replicates per experiment. D, The Kaplan-Meier plotter program was employed to detect the survival prognosis of DANCR in lung cancer. ** P < .05. The median value of lncRNA DANCR was used as a cutoff value. DANCR indicates differentiation antagonizing noncoding RNA; qRT-PCR, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; SD, standard deviation.
