Cancer&Entry Information

Cancer Name	gastric cancer
ICD-0-3	C16
Methods	qPCR, Western blot, RIP
Sample	Human GC cell lines (BGC-823, MGC-803, AGS, and SGC-7901) and the normal human gastric epithelium cell line GES-1, GC tissues and adjacent nontumor tissues
Expression Pattern	up-regulated
Function Description	a low level of VCAN-AS1 in normal gastric tissues through NCBI and UCSC, and that VCAN-AS1 upregulation in GC tissues was related to poor prognosis by TCGA. Furthermore, VCAN-AS1 was found markedly enhanced in GC tissues and cell lines, while its upregulation was related with clinical outcomes of GC patients. Besides this, silencing VCAN-AS1 represses cell proliferation, migration, and invasion but enhances apoptosis. More important, we discovered that VCAN-AS1 expression was negatively correlated with wild-type p53 levels in GC tissues and that p53 was negatively modulated by VCAN-AS1 in GC cells. Furthermore, p53 suppression reversed the repression of VCAN-AS1 silence on the biological processes of AGS cells. Intriguingly, we identified that both VCAN-AS1 and TP53 can bind with eIF4A3, one of the core proteins in the exon junction complex. Also, we confirmed that VCAN-AS1 negatively regulates TP53 expression by competitively binding with eIF4A3.
