Long non-coding RNA LUCAT1 promotes cell proliferation and invasion in melanoma

Conclusions: The expression of LUCAT1 in melanoma cells was detected via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay. We found that lncRNA LUCAT1 was significantly upregulated in melanoma cells. Then, we further searched the role of lncRNA LUCAT1 in melanoma. [Ethiop. J.
