Abstract
BACKGROUND Reportedly, ovarian cancer (OC) is a major threat to women's health. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ASB16-AS1 has been uncovered to participate in cancer progression. Nevertheless, the role of ASB16-AS1 in OC remains to be revealed. PURPOSE This study aimed to unveil the biological function of ASB16-AS1 and its underlying mechanisms in OC cells. METHODS QRT-PCR was done to test ASB16-AS1 expression in OC cells. Functional assays were performed to evaluate the malignant behaviors and cisplatin resistance of OC cells. Mechanistic analyses were done to investigate the regulatory molecular mechanism in OC cells. RESULTS ASB16-AS1 was found to be highly expressed in OC cells. ASB16-AS1 knockdown repressed proliferation, migration, and invasion of OC cells, while facilitating cell apoptosis. ASB16-AS1 was further validated to up-regulate GOLM1 through competitively binding with miR-3918. Moreover, miR-3918 overexpression was corroborated to suppress OC cell growth. Rescue assays further uncovered that ASB16-AS1 modulated the malignant processes of OC cells via targeting miR-3918/GOLM1 axis. CONCLUSION ASB16-AS1 facilitates the malignant processes and chemoresistance of OC cells via serving as miR-3918 sponge and positively modulating GOLM1 expression.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of long-chain non-coding RNA ASB16 antisense RNA1 (ASB16-AS1) on the proliferation, migration and invasion of esophageal cancer cells by targeting microRNA (miR )-1258. Methods: Forty pairs of esophageal cancer tissues and matched adjacent tissues (distance of tumor margin>3 cm) resected in Xinxiang Central Hospital from May 2016 to July 2017 were collected. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expressions of ASB16-AS1 and miR-1258 in esophageal cancer tissues and adjacent tissues. The small interfering RNA negative control (si-NC), ASB16-AS1 small interfering RNA (si-ASB16-AS1), miR-negative control mimics (miR-NC), miR-1258 mimics (miR-1258), si-ASB16-AS1 and anti-miR-NC, si-ASB16-AS1 and anti-miR-1258, si-ASB16-AS1 and anti-miR-1258 were transfected into Eca109 cells, respectively. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) was utilized to detect the cell viability. Transwell assays were applied to detect cell migration and invasion. Double luciferase reporting experiment and qRT-PCR were used to confirm the relationship between ASB16-AS1 and miR-1258. Results: The expression levels of ASB16-AS1 and miR-1258 in esophageal cancer tissues were 2.95±0.27 and 0.62±0.06, respectively. Compared with 1.00±0.06 and 1.00±0.07 in adjacent tissues, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The cell viability of the si-NC group at 48 h and 72 h were 0.81±0.07 and 1.15±0.11, while those of si-ASB16-AS1 group were 0.46±0.04 and 0.62±0.06 (P<0.05). The numbers of cell migration and invasion in the si-NC group were 86.32±8.24 and 71.29±7.15, respectively, while those of si-ASB16-AS1 group were 43.22±4.31 and 32.36±3.58, respectively, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The cell viability of the miR-NC group at 48 h and 72 h were 0.84±0.08, 1.18±0.12, while those of miR-1258 group were 0.55±0.05, 0.71±0.07 (P<0.05). The migration and invasion numbers of the miR-NC group were (83.15±8.31) and (75.33±7.51), while those of miR-1258 group were (49.58±4.23) and (38.42±3.84), respectively, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The cell viability of the si-ASB16-AS1+ anti-miR-NC group at 48 h and 72 h were 0.45±0.04, 0.61±0.06, while those of si-ASB16-AS1+ anti-miR-1258 group were 0.72±0.07, 0.98±0.08; The migration and invasion numbers of cells in the si-ASB16-AS1+ anti-miR-NC group were 44.36±4.41 and 31.69±3.85, respectively, while those of si-ASB16-AS1+ anti-miR-1258 group were 72.65±7.27 and 61.22±6.14, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). ASB16-AS1 targeted negative regulation of miR-1258 expression. Conclusions: ASB16-AS1 upregulates in esophageal cancer. ASB16-AS1 promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of esophageal cancer cells by targeting miR-1258.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ASB16 antisense RNA 1 (ASB16-AS1) is recognized as an oncogene in several cancer types, but its relation to GC is unknown. Tripartite motif containing 37 (TRIM37) has been proven to accelerate the development of gastric cancer (GC), whereas the molecular mechanism assisted ASB16-AS1 and TRIM37 in regulating GC progression remains unclear. METHODS Differentially expressed lncRNAs in GC samples were analyzed based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data. CCK-8 and colony formation assays were applied to determine the proliferative ability of GC cells. Stem cell-like phenotype of GC cells was assessed by sphere formation assay and flow cytometry analysis. Luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), pulldown, and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) were performed to verify the interplay of RNA molecules. RESULTS ASB16-AS1 was upregulated in GC samples according to GEO data and qRT-PCR analysis. ASB16-AS1 strengthened the proliferative ability and stem cell-like characteristics in GC cells. More importantly, ASB16-AS1 encouraged GC cell growth in vivo. Mechanistically, ASB16-AS1 strengthened TRIM37 expression by sequestering miR-3918 and miR-4676-3p. ASB16-AS1 activated NF-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway by cooperating with ATM serine/threonine kinase (ATM) to induce TRIM37 phosphorylation. CONCLUSION In summary, ASB16-AS1 exerted oncogenic functions in GC through modulating TRIM37 expression at both mRNA and protein levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play a role in suppressing or promoting the progression of gastric cancer (GC). However, there are still a large number of lncRNAs whose roles in the progression of GC are still unclear. Therefore, it is still necessary to identify lncRNAs that affect the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells to provide potential targets for the prevention and treatment of GC.
AIM To investigate the effect of lncRNA ASB16-AS1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells and the underlying mechanism.
METHODS The expression levels of ASB16-AS1, miR-670-3p, and ATXN7L3 in human gastric mucosal cell line GES-1 and GC cell lines HGC-27, AGS, and NUGC-4 were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot. HGC-27 cells were divided into si-NC, si-ASB16-AS1, miR-NC, miR-670-3p, si-ATXN7L3, si-ASB16-AS1 + anti-miR-NC, si-ASB16 -AS1 + anti-miR-670-3p, si-ASB16-AS1 + pcDNA-NC, and si-ASB16-AS1 + pcDNA-ATXN7L3 groups. Cell counting kit-8 and transwell assay were used to detect cell viability and migration invasion , respectively. Dual luciferase reportor assay, RT-qPCR, and Western blot were used to determine the interaction between ASB16-AS1 and miR-670-3p and between miR-670-3p and ATXN7L3.
RESULTS ASB16-AS1 and ATXN7L3 were highly expressed in GC cells, while miR-670-3p was lowly expressed (P < 0.05). After inhibiting the expression of ASB16-AS1, overexpressing miR-670-3p, or inhibiting the expression of ATXN7L3, the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HGC-27 cells were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). ASB16-AS1 targets and negatively regulates miR-670-3p expression. MiR-670-3p targets and negatively regulates ATXN7L3 expression. Inhibiting miR-670-3p partially reversed the effects of inhibiting ASB16-AS1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HGC-27 cells (P < 0.05). Overexpressing ATXN7L3 partially reversed the effect of inhibiting ASB16-AS1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HGC-27 cells (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Inhibiting ASB16-AS1 inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells by regulating the miR-670-3p/ATXN7L3 axis.

Abstract
Purpose ASB16 antisense RNA 1 (ASB16-AS1) is a cancer-associated long non-coding RNA that contributes to tumorigenesis and tumor development. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, whether and how ASB16-AS1 is implicated in osteosarcoma (OS) malignancy remains unclear and therefore warrants exploration. Our current study focused on making in-depth investigation of ASB16-AS1 in OS. In the present study, the expression pattern of ASB16-AS1 in OS tissues and cell lines was analyzed. In addition, we examined the clinical value of ASB16-AS1 for OS patients. Furthermore, we explored the impacts of ASB16-AS1 on the malignant phenotype of OS cells in vitro and in vivo as well as the underlying mechanism. Methods ASB16-AS1, microRNA-760 (miR-760) and hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) expressions were measured using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated using CCK-8 and flow cytometry analyses, respectively, and cell migration and invasion were determined via cell migration and invasion assays. Results ASB16-AS1 expression was significantly elevated in OS tissues and cell lines, and increased ASB16-AS1 expression was related to patients' tumor size, TNM stage, and distant metastasis. The overall survival rate of OS patients presenting high ASB16-AS1 expression was shorter than that of patients presenting low ASB16-AS1 expression. Reduced ASB16-AS1 expression inhibited OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion; promoted cell apoptosis; and impaired tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, ASB16-AS1 served as a sponge for miR-760 and positively modulated the expression of its target HDGF. Finally, inhibiting miR-760 and restoring HDGF expression abolished the impacts of ASB16-AS1 knockdown on the malignant characteristics of OS cells. Conclusion ASB16-AS1 is a novel oncogenic lncRNA in OS cells. ASB16-AS1 increased HDGF expression by sponging miR-760, thereby conferring cancer-promoting roles in OS. ASB16-AS1 is a potential early diagnostic and therapeutic target in OS.

Abstract
Background To date, although several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are reported to regulate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, their relationship still remains elusive. ASB16-AS1 is a poorly researched novel lncRNA. We aimed to investigate its function in HCC progression. Methods qRT-PCR and in situ hybridization (ISH) were used to analyze ASB16-AS1 expression in HCC tissues. CCK8, Edu incorporation and colony formation were used to determine cell proliferation. Transwell assay was used to examine migration and invasion. Luciferase reporter assay was used to analyze the interactions among ASB16-AS1, miR-1827 and FZD4. Results Bioinformatics analysis identified ASB16-AS1 was overexpressed in HCC tissues, which was further validated by qRT-PCR and in situ hybridization (ISH). Besides, ASB16-AS1 was demonstrated to be a potential indicator for HCC prognosis. Functional studies showed ASB16-AS1 knockdown attenuated proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells. Mechanistically, ASB16-AS1 directly interacted with miR-1827 and promoted FZD4 expression by sponging miR-1827. Overexpressed FZD4 eventually activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway and contributed to HCC progression. Conclusion Our work is the first to identify ASB16-AS1 as an oncogene that enhances HCC progression by modulating miR-1827/FZD4/Wnt/β-catenin pathways.
