Objective To evaluate the expression of long non-coding RNA,LINC00261,in Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma,and to investigate its possible mechanism. Methods qRT-PCR was used to analyze the expression levels of LINC00261 in normal esophageal squamous epithelium,Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma of Chinese population. The possible role of LINC00261 in the development of Barrett 's esophagus was investigated in human embryonic stem cells. Results The expression level of LINC002...
