This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of long non-coding RNA FLVCR1-AS1 on proliferation, invasion and migration of colorectal cancer. QRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of FLVCR1-AS1 in colorectal cancer. The target genes of FLVCR1-AS1 were predicted using
the StarBase and Luciferase assay. The biological function of miR-493-3p through a series of in vitro experiments. We examined the expression of FLVCR1-AS1 in colorectal cancer cell lines was remarkably increased. Interference with FLVCR1-AS1 inhibits proliferation, invasion and migration
of colorectal cancer cell lines. MiR-493-3p is a targeted miRNA of lncRNA FLVCR1-AS1, and overexpression of miR-493-3p inhibits proliferation of colorectal cancer cells, invasion and migration of colorectal cancer cells, and it can be reversed by lncRNA FLVCR1-AS1. LncRNA FLVCR1-AS1 acts as
miR-493-3p sponge to modulate cancer cell proliferation, invasion and migration in colorectal cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
