Gene silencing, reverse transcription polymerasechain reaction, western blotting, scrape motility assay, and Transwell migrationassay were used to assess the function of hub-lncRNAs.RESULTSAt the transcriptome level, 3339 differentially expressed lncRNAs were obtained.weighted gene coexpression network analysis was used to obtain 15 lncRNAclusters and observe their coexpression. Pearson’s correlation showed that blue module was correlated with tumor grade and survival. NALT1 was the hublncRNAof blue module and was an independent risk factor for GC prognosis.NALT1 was overexpressed in GC and its expression was closely related toinvasion and metastasis. The mechanism may involve NALT1 regulation ofNOTCH1, which is associated with lncRNA in T cell acute lymphoblasticleukemia, through cis regulation, thereby affecting the expression of the NOTCHsignaling pathway.CONCLUSIONNALT1 is overexpressed and promotes invasion and metastasis of GC.
