Abstract In this study, we mainly focus on probing expression profile and detailed functions of long non-coding RNA
TFAP2A antisense RNA 1 (TFAP2A-AS1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Moreover, the mechanisms played by
TFAP2A-AS1 were unraveled comprehensively. Herein, a notable overexpressed TFAP2A-AS1 in NSCLC was observed
by TCGA and our own cohort. An increased TFAP2A-AS1 level displayed a negative correlation with the overall survival
of patients with NSCLC. Loss-of-function approaches illustrated that the absence of TFAP2A-AS1 weakened NSCLC cell
proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion in vitro. Also, interference of TFAP2A-AS1 caused in vivo tumor
growth suppression. More >
