LncRNA AFAP1-AS1 Modulates Gastric Cancer Cell Proliferation
13 and hepatocellular carcinoma. 14,15 In a previous analysis of the lncRNA expression profile using a microarray assay, we found that AFAP1-AS1 was upregulated in six GC tissues compared with paired non-cancerous tissues. To investigate the relationship between AFAP1-AS1 and GC, the expression of AFAP1-AS1 was further verified in a study involving a larger sample size composed of tissues and six different GC cell lines. In addition, the potential functions of AFAP1-AS1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells was also investigated in this study. Materials and Methods Tissue ...
