   Cancer Name colorectal cancer
   ICD-0-3 C19.9  
   Methods qPCR, ChIP, RIP, Western blot, etc.
   Sample Cell lines (LOVO, SW1116, SW480, HCT116, SW620, HT29). 80 colorectal carcinoma tissues, 10 normal colon tissues.
   Expression Pattern up-regulated
   Function Description

Our findings indicate that AFAP1-AS1 is an oncogenic lncRNA that promotes tumor progression and may be a novel prognostic factor in colorectal cancer. Targeting AFAP1-AS1 might be a potential therapeutic strategy for colorectal cancer treatment.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed a statistically significant worse prognosis for colorectal cancer patients with high AFAP1-AS1 mRNA levels compared with those with low.
