Identification of differentially expressed lncRNAs and coding mRNAs in SNAI1/2 overexpression cell line

The oncogene SNAI2 is known to be a master transcription factor that regulates a broad range of cellular processes, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). As a transcription factor, there is no doubt that SNAI1/2 could directly regulate the expression of thousands of genes, including lncRNAs. In this study, we took SNAI1/2 as a breakthrough point to screen and identify lncRNAs regulated by SNAI2 in GC. Our data showed that overexpression of SNAI2 caused a 1.5-fold change in the expression of about 654 lncRNAs (|Log2FC| >0.5), and a 2-fold change in the expression of about 123 lncRNAs (|Log2FC| >1). Examination of the lncRNAs that regulated by SNAI2 and SNAI1 through RNA sequencing studies.
