Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | tongue squamous cell carcinoma |
| ICD-0-3 | C02 |
| Methods | qPCR, Western blot, in vitro knockdown |
| Sample | TSCC tissues, TSCC cell lines (SCC-15, Tca8113, SCC-4, SCC-9 and CAL-27) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 was increased in TSCC tissues and that patients with high AFAP1-AS1 expression had a shorter overall survival.Furthermore, AFAP1-AS1 silencing partly inhibited cell migration and invasion. Inhibition of AFAP1-AS1 decreased the activity of the Wnt/B-catenin pathway and suppressed the expression of EMT-related genes (SLUG, SNAIL1, VIM, CADN, ZEB1, ZEB2, SMAD2 and TWIST1) in TSCC cells. |

| Title | Upregulation of the long non-coding RNA AFAP1-AS1 affects the proliferation, invasion and survival of tongue squamous cell carcinoma via the Wnt/B-catenin signaling pathway. |
