   Cancer Name tongue squamous cell carcinoma
   ICD-0-3 C02  M8070/3
   Methods qPCR, Western blot, in vitro knockdown
   Sample TSCC tissues, TSCC cell lines (SCC-15, Tca8113, SCC-4, SCC-9 and CAL-27)
   Expression Pattern up-regulated
   Function Description

lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 was increased in TSCC tissues and that patients with high AFAP1-AS1 expression had a shorter overall survival.Furthermore, AFAP1-AS1 silencing partly inhibited cell migration and invasion. Inhibition of AFAP1-AS1 decreased the activity of the Wnt/B-catenin pathway and suppressed the expression of EMT-related genes (SLUG, SNAIL1, VIM, CADN, ZEB1, ZEB2, SMAD2 and TWIST1) in TSCC cells.

   Pubmed ID 29310682
