Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | hepatocellular carcinoma |
| ICD-0-3 | C22.0 |
| Methods | qPCR, Western blot, Cell proliferation assay etc. |
| Sample | HCC tissues, cell lines (SMMC-7721, Bel-7402, MHCC-97 L, MHCC-97H) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | AFAP1-AS1 was found to be increased in HCC tissues, and high AFAP1-AS1 expression was associated with tumor size, TNM stage, vascular invasion, and poor prognosis. Silencing of AFAP1-AS1 significantly reduced cell proliferation, clonal growth, cell migration, and invasion and increased apoptosis in vitro. Furthermore, AFAP1-AS1 silencing markedly reduced tumor growth in a murine allograft model in vivo. |
