| Abstract |
Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to have important regulatory roles in human cancer biology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression and biological role of lncRNA CASC2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). By bioinformatics analysis, we found that CASC2 was significantly decreased in NSCLC. qRT-PCR was performed to investigate the expression of CASC2 in tumor tissues and corresponding non-tumor NSCLC tissues from 76 patients. The lower expression of CASC2 was remarkably correlated with advanced TNM stage and tumor size. Multivariate analyses found that CASC2 expression served as an independent predictor for overall survival of NSCLC. Moreover, overexpression of CASC2 significantly inhibited NSCLC cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that CASC2 is involved in the development and progression of NSCLC and shows that CASC2 may be a potential diagnostic and target for new therapies in patients with NSCLC. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 January 2016.
All research outputs
#20,983,210
of 23,613,071 outputs
Outputs from Tumor Biology
#1,851
of 2,614 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#334,882
of 397,859 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tumor Biology
#147
of 247 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,613,071 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,614 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 397,859 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 247 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
