Comparative proteogenomics profiling of non-small and small lung carcinoma cell lines using mass spectrometry.

abstract：Purpose:Recent studies have determined that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are potential prognostic biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). The purpose of this study was to analyze the function and associated pathways of zinc finger protein multitype 2 antisense RNA 1 (ZFPM2-AS1) in NSCLC cells. Methods:W...
