Identification cloning and functional analysis of novel natural antisense lncRNA CFL1-AS1 in cattle.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs have been identified as important regulators of gene expression and animal development. The expression of natural antisense transcripts (NATs) transcribed in the opposite direction to protein-coding genes is usually positively correlated with the expression of homologous sense genes and is the key factor for expression. Here, we identified a conserved noncoding antisense transcript, CFL1-AS1, that plays an important role in muscle growth and development. CFL1-AS1 overexpression and knockout vectors were constructed and transfected into 293T and C2C12 cells. CFL1-AS1 positively regulated CFL1 gene expression, and the expression of CFL2 was also downregulated when CFL1-AS1 was knocked down. CFL1-AS1 promoted cell proliferation, inhibited apoptosis and participated in auto
