GAS6-AS1 drives bladder cancer progression by increasing MMP7 expression in a ceRNA- and RBP-dependent manner.

ABSTRACT: Numerous recent studies have underscored the indispensable roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in various diseases. However, their precise mechanisms in urinary bladder cancer (UBC) remain to be further elucidated. To delve into this inquiry, online databases were analyzed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs in UBC, followed by the functional experiments in vivo and in vitro functional experiments. GAS6-AS1 exhibited high expression levels in UBC tissues and was shown to regulate the proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle progression of UBC cells in vitro and in vivo. Then, a series of molecular biology experiments, including RNA pull-down, dual-luciferase reporter gene assays, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and the
