Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | esophageal squamous cell carcinoma |
| ICD-0-3 | NA |
| Methods | qPCR, MTT assay etc. |
| Sample | ESCC tissues, cell lines (KYSE30, KYSE70, KYSE150, KYSE450, KYSE510, and TE10) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | Three lncRNAs (AFAP1-AS1, UCA1, HOTAIR) were found to be deregulated in cisplatin-resistant cells compared with their parent cells. AFAP1-AS1 was significantly up-regulated in tumor tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. Furthermore, overexpression of AFAP1-AS1 was closely associated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, advanced clinical stage, and response to dCRT. |
| Pubmed ID | 26756568 |
| Year | 2016 |
| Title | High expression of long non-coding RNA AFAP1-AS1 predicts chemoradioresistance and poor prognosis in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy. |
