   Cancer Name hepatocellular carcinoma
   ICD-0-3 C22.0  M8170/3
   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.
