lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 has been linked to the pathogenesis of a wide range of tumors. Nevertheless, whether it plays a role in laryngeal carcinoma (LC) remains unclear.
Twenty-nine pairs of LC and related normal tissues were collected for the detection of lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 using qRT-PCR. Correlation of lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 level and clinicopathological characters was assessed by the chi-square test. Impacts of lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 silencing on LC phenotypes were tested via CCK-8, clone formation, EdU staining, wound healing, flow cytometry, and Transwell assay.
Herein, a remarkable elevation of lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 was observed in LC patients. And higher lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 level was correlated to worse clinical pathological characteristics. Moreover, lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 silencing was revealed to repress TU212 malignant phenotypes.
Our data suggested that lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 acts as an oncogene of LC .
长链非编码 RNA AFAP1-AS1 与多种肿瘤的发病机制有关。然而,它在喉癌(LC)中的作用尚不清楚。
收集 29 对 LC 及相关正常组织,采用 qRT-PCR 检测 lncRNA AFAP1-AS1。采用卡方检验评估 lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 水平与临床病理特征的相关性。通过 CCK-8、克隆形成、EdU 染色、划痕愈合、流式细胞术和 Transwell 检测,检测 lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 沉默对 LC 表型的影响。
本研究中,LC 患者 lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 水平显著升高。高 lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 水平与更差的临床病理特征相关。此外,lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 沉默可抑制 TU212 恶性表型。
本研究数据表明,lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 可作为 LC 的致癌基因。
