LncRNA ABHD11-AS1 promotes the development of endometrial carcinoma by targeting cyclin D1.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the expression, role and mechanism of action of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ABHD11-AS1 in endometrial carcinoma. The expression of lncRNA ABHD11-AS1 was quantified by qRT-PCR in human endometrial carcinoma (n = 89) and normal endometrial tissues (n = 27). LncRNA ABHD11-AS1 was stably overexpressed or knocked-down in endometrial carcinoma cell lines to examine the cellular phenotype and expression of related molecules. Compared to normal endometrial tissue, lncRNA ABHD11-AS1 was significantly overexpressed in endometrial carcinoma. Overexpression of lncRNA ABHD11-AS1 promoted the proliferation, G1-S progression, invasion and migration of endometrial cancer cells; inhibited apoptosis; up-regulated cyclin D1, CDK1, CDK2, CDK4, Bcl-xl and VEGFA; and down-regulated p16, while AB
