LncRNA MAGI2-AS3 Is Regulated by BRD4 and Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression via Maintaining ZEB1 Overexpression by Sponging miR-141/200a.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in tumorigenesis and tumor progression. However, the biological function of most lncRNAs remains unknown in human gastric cancer. This study here aims to explore the unknown function of lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 in gastric cancer. First, bioinformatics analysis showed that lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 was overexpressed in gastric cancer tissues, and the overexpression of MAGI2-AS3 has been shown to be associated with poor prognosis in all three independent gastric cancer cohorts (The Cancer Genome Atlas stomach cancer [TCGA_STAD], GEO: GSE62254 and GSE15459). The multivariate analysis indicated that lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 was an independent prognostic factor for both overall survival and disease-free survival of gastric cancer patients. Moreover, MAGI2-AS3 was ident
