摘要
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a type of otolaryngological malignancy with high incidence. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. LncRNA AFAP1-AS1 (AFAP1-AS1) has been found to play important roles in nasopharyngeal carcinoma progression and poor prognosis. However, the mechanism underlying AFAP1-AS1 in regulating nasopharyngeal carcinoma is still unclear. In current study, AFAP1-AS1 was found to be up-regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and cells. AFAP1-AS1 overexpression and knockdown were conducted in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. The results proved that AFAP1-AS1 promoted the survival and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Additionally, specificity protein 1 (SP1) was enhanced in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and cells, and induced AFAP1-AS1 expression. The interaction between AFAP1-AS1 and miR-497-5p was confirmed. AFAP1-AS1 was demonstrated to regulate CELF1, a target gene of miR-497-5p. Further functional analysis revealed that AFAP1-AS1 knockdown attenuated SP1-induced nasopharyngeal carcinoma progression. These results indicate that SP1-induced AFAP1-AS1 facilitates nasopharyngeal carcinoma progression by regulating miR-497-5p/CELF1 pathway, which provides a new target for nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment.
