Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
Long non-coding RNA LINC00908 is a functional biomarker in regulating tumour progression. Its dysregulation in gastric cancer implies its potential functional role. Few studies have noted the functional role of LINC00908 in gastric cancer. The potential of LINC00908 to serve as a biomarker in gastric cancer was evaluated.

A total of 113 paired gastric cancer tissues and normal tissues were collected from patients with gastric cancer. LINC00908 levels were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction, and its significance in disease progression and patients’ prognosis was assessed.

In vitro, the function of LINC00908 in tumour-related cellular processes was evaluated with CCK8 and Transwell assay. Significant downregulation of LINC00908 was observed in gastric cancer and was negatively associated with disease development and overall survival of patients. LINC00908 showed significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells.

Additionally, miR-627-3p was sponged by LINC00908 and therefore mediated the function of LINC00908 in gastric cancer cells. LINC00908 functioned as a prognostic biomarker and tumour suppressor of gastric cancer, providing a therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
