PSMA3-AS1 induced by transcription factor PAX5 promotes cholangiocarcinoma proliferation, migration and invasion by sponging miR-376a-3p to up-regulate LAMC1.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to exhibit a crucial regulatory role in tumor progression, including cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). As a promising lncRNA, proteasome 20S subunit alpha 3 antisense RNA 1 (PSMA3-AS1) is involved in development of various tumors. However, the role and function of PSMA3-AS1 in CCA remain unclear. The aim of this study is to examine the expression, function, mechanism, and clinical significance of PSMA3-AS1 in CCA development. By TCGA database analysis, we found that PSMA3-AS1 was overexpressed in CCA. Consistent with the TCGA analysis, PSMA3-AS1 was significantly overexpressed in CCA tissues and cells by RT-qPCR. Upregulated PSMA3-AS1 was related to lymph node invasion, advanced TNM stage and poor survival, and was an independent risk factor of prog
