Abstract Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) is involved in several
human cancers. However, the role of ANRIL in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear. This study aimed
to explore whether, and how, ANRIL affects the progression of RCC. First, the expression of ANRIL in clinical
tumor tissues and four kinds of RCC cell lines was evaluated. After transfection, cell viability, colony number,
apoptosis, migration, and invasion were assessed. The expression of proteins related to apoptosis, epithelial-tomesenchymal transition (EMT), and the β-catenin signaling pathway was then assessed. In addition, the… More >
