摘要


The lncRNA AFAP1-AS1, oriented from an antisense direction to the protein-coding gene AFAP1 in the opposite strand, was upregulated in a variety of tumors and associated with poor prognosis, including lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and so on. However, the biological role of AFAP1-AS1 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is still unknown. We observed that AFAP1-AS1 expression was significantly upregulated in ccRCC tissues and that patients with high-level expression of AFAP1-AS1 had a shorter overall survival. Knockdown of AFAP1-AS1 markedly suppressed the progression of proliferation, invasion, migration, and EMT in ccRCC cells. Downregulation of AFAP1-AS1 resulted in an increase in E-cadherin and a decrease in vimentin. Noticeably, we found that PTEN has a negative correlation with the lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 expression. Further studies verified that PTEN deficiency effectively attenuated the ability of AFAP1-AS1 in promoting ccRCC cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and EMT. Moreover, the similar biological response of silencing AFAP1-AS1 was observed in our ccRCC mice model. Knockdown of AFAP1-AS1 evidently suppressed tumor growth. Taken together, our results provide the evidences that silencing of AFAP1-AS1 inhibits cell proliferation, EMT, and metastasis through PTEN-dependent signaling, and our findings elucidate a novel potential therapeutic target or biomarker for the treatment of ccRCC.
