Long intergenic nonprotein-coding RNA 02163 (LINC02163) is upregulated in breast cancer and is correlated with poor prognosis. (A) Relative LINC02163 expression was detected in 61 pairs of breast cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). (B) The overall survival of patients with breast cancer was determined according to the Kaplan–Meier method, and differences between the two groups were examined using the log-rank test (p = 0.0286). (C) LINC02163 expression was measured using RT-qPCR in four breast cancer cell lines (SKBR3, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and BT-474) and the human immortalized breast epithelial cell line MCF-10A. **p < 0.01.
