LINC00341 is a novel long intergenic non-protein coding RNA with unknown functions. In our report, we investigated LINC00341 expression and its prognostic value in cancer patients. DNA over-methylation triggered low expression of LINC00341 and that was associated with poor prognosis in cancers. A meta-analysis further confirmed that high expression of LINC00341 was associated with a better prognosis in cancer patients. Both gene set enrichment analysis and meta-analysis showed that LINC00341 inhibited cancer metastasis. Finally, a large-scale multicentre analysis supported a prognostic value of LINC00341 in cancers.
Keywords: LINC00341; LncRNA; meta-analysis; metastasis; prognostication.
