LncRNA ZFAS1 promotes pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastasis via the RHOA/ROCK2 pathway by sponging miR-3924.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The mortality and morbidity rates of pancreatic adenocarcinoma have been increasing over the past two decades, and an understanding of the mechanisms underlying pancreatic adenocarcinoma progression is urgently needed. The long non-coding RNA ZFAS1 has been demonstrated to be an oncogene in some cancers, but its function and mechanism in pancreatic adenocarcinoma remain unclear.

Methods

The ZFAS1 expression level in pancreatic adenocarcinoma was predicted by bioinformatic analysis, and the expression level of ZFAS1 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissue samples and cell lines was further detected by quantitative real-time PCR and in situ hybridization. The functions of ZFAS1 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma in vitro and in vivo were investigated by further bioinformatic
