   Cancer Name gastric cancer
   ICD-0-3 C16  
   Methods qPCR, Western blot etc.
   Sample GC tissues, cell lines (AGS, MGC-803, SGC-7901, and BGC-823)
   Expression Pattern up-regulated
   Function Description

A small interfering RNA (siRNA) that targeted AFAP1-AS1 was transfected into cells to inhibit the expression of AFAP1-AS1. AFAP1-AS1 was up-regulated in GC tissues and GC cells. AFAP1-AS1 knockdown suppressed cell viability of SGC7901 transfected with si-AFAP1-AS1. AFAP1-AS1 was up-regulated in GC cells and regulated the gastric cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis via PTEN/p-AKT pathway. AFAP1-AS1 was found to be associated with increased risk of developing lymph node metastasis, poor overall survival, and short recurrence-free survival.
