LncRNA ELFN1-AS1 upregulates TRIM29 by suppressing miR-211-3p to promote gastric cancer progression.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) extracellular leucine rich repeat and fibronectin type III domain containing 1-antisense RNA 1 (ELFN1-AS1) has been found to be upregulated in various tumors. However, the biological functions of ELFN1-AS1 in gastric cancer (GC) are not entirely understood. In the present study, the expression levels of ELFN1-AS1, miR-211-3p, and TRIM29 are determined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Subsequently, CCK8, EdU, and colony formation assays are performed to determine GC cell vitality. The migratory and invasive capabilities of GC cells are further evaluated using transwell invasion and cell scratch assays. Western blot analysis is performed to quantify the levels of proteins associated with GC cell apoptosis and epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT). Th
