Identification of Combinations of Plasma lncRNAs and mRNAs as Potential Biomarkers for Precursor Lesions and Early Gastric Cancer

Figure 4

Candidate RNAs in plasma samples of patients with EGC (n = 143) and healthy participants (n = 120). Scatter plots of plasma levels of long noncoding RNAs (a) CEBPA-AS1, (b) INHBA-AS1, (c) AK001058, and (d) UCA1 and mRNAs (e) PPBP and (f) RGS18. Expression levels of RNAs (△Ct scale y-axis) are normalised to that of the 18S rRNA gene.  < 0.05,  < 0.01,  < 0.001. GC, gastric cancer.
