Popis: Abstract Purpose Non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are a group of these neoplasms originated from the adenohypophyse and do not show evidence of hormonal oversecretion. However, different genes and lncRNAs have been found to be dysregulated in these samples. Material and methods In this study, in order to identify novel biomarkers, a set of regulatory lncRNAs for the two important hub genes, i.e. STAT3 and EGFR were selected and subjected to experimental investigation. These lncRNAs were EGFR-AS1 for the EGFR gene, and LINC00240, FALEC and SNHG12 for the STAT3 gene. Results All studied genes were down-regulated in NFPA samples compared with normal tissues adjacent to the tumors (NTATs), except for FALEC whose expression was not different between these two sets of samples. EGFR was the most significantly down-regulated gene in NFPAs (Expression ratio (95% CI) = 0.009 (0.002–0.04), P value
