LINC00511 was found high expressed in GC tissues and cells a TCGA database showed the expression of LINC00511 in GC tissues and normal adjacent tissue. b The expression of LINC00511 in GC tissues and normal adjacent tissue was examined by qRT-PCR assays. c LINC00511 expression was tested in GC cell lines (HGC27, BGC823, MGC803 and SGC7901) and normal gastric epithelial cell (GES1) examined by qRT-PCR assay. d The expression of LINC00511 was examined by qRT-PCR assay transfected with sh-LINC00511#1, #2. e, f CCK8 and colony formation assays detected the cell proliferation. g, h Flow cytometry analysis and TUNEL assays were conducted to appraise apoptosis rate. i Western blot assays were performed to measure the relevant protein of apoptosis. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
