GRP78 regulates LINC00294 expression. (A) The top 200 lncRNAs that were positively correlated with GRP78 in the GSE26511, GSE5787 and TCGA datasets. (B) The top 200 lncRNAs that were negatively correlated with GRP78 in the GSE26511, GSE5787 and TCGA datasets. (C) The GRP78 protein expression level was decreased by transfection with si-GRP78. (D) LINC00294 expression was decreased following GRP78-knockdown. (E) LINC00294 is associated with the cell cycle according to GSEA. (F) GSEA demonstrated that LINC00294 is enriched in the Hedgehog pathway. ***P<0.001.
