LncRNA HIF1A-AS2 acts as an oncogene to regulate malignant phenotypes in cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) HIF1A-AS2 is upregulated in multiple human cancers and are associated with various aspects of tumor progression. However, the molecular mechanisms of HIF1A-AS2 in cervical cancer (CC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we aim to investigate the expression pattern and signaling pathways of HIF1A-AS2 in CC.

Methods

The study included a group of 20 CC patients, from whom tumor tissue specimens were collected. Additionally, three distinct CC cell lines (HeLa, SiHa, CaSki) were utilized. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to assess the transcript levels of HIF1A-AS2 in these samples. Functional studies were performed by CCK-8, Transwell and Apoptosis assays. Databases including JASPAR, miRDB and Targetscan were used for the
