Long noncoding RNA ZBED3-AS1 restrains breast cancer progression by targeting the microRNA-513a-5p/KLF6 axis.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly occurring malignancy in women. This study aimed to investigate the functions of the long noncoding RNA ZBED3-AS1 (ZBED3-AS1) in BC and its molecular mechanisms. qRT-PCR was conducted to access the expression of ZBED3-AS1, microRNA-513a-5p (miR-513a-5p), and Kruppel like factor 6 (KLF6) in BC. Additionally, BC cell viability and proliferative capacity were measured by MTT and 5-Ethynyl-20-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays. A transwell assay was used for evaluating BC cell migration and invasion. The interactions among ZBED3-AS1, miR-513a-5p, and KLF6 in BC were confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Furthermore, feedback approaches were performed to determine whether ZBED3-AS1 influences BC cell behaviors by regulating the miR-513a-5p/KLF6 axis. The mur
