Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | gastric cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C16 |
| Methods | Microarray, qPCR, RNAi, RNA pull-down assay, Cell proliferation assay etc. |
| Sample | gastric cancer tissues, cell lines (BGC823, SGC7901, MGC803, AGS, HGC27 etc.) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | Here, we reported that ZFAS1 expression is also overexpressed in gastric cancer, and its increased level is associated with poor prognosis and shorter survival. Knockdown of ZFAS1 impaired gastric cancer cells proliferation and induced apoptosis in vitro, and inhibited tumorigenicity of gastric cancer cells in vivo. Mechanistically, RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down experiment showed that ZFAS1 could simultaneously interact with EZH2 and LSD1/CoREST to repress underlying targets KLF2 and NKD2 transcription. In addition, rescue experiments determined that ZFAS1 oncogenic function is partly dependent on repressing KLF2 and NKD2. |
