Abstract:
Background: Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox A antisense RNA 1 (HNF1A-AS1) is a Long
non-coding RNA (LncRNA) that participates in the occurrence and development of lots of tumors and is supposed
to be a new biomarker. The text aims to illustrate the biological effect, specific mechanism and clinical
significance of HNF1A-AS1 in various tumors.
Methods: Via consulting the literature, analyze and summarize the relationship between HNF1A-AS1 and all
kinds of tumors and the specific mechanism.
Results: This is a review paper about the tumor-associated long non-coding RNA HNF1A-AS1. Many researches
show that LncRNA HNF1A-AS1 is related to the development of tumorous tumors. Its expression is
up-regulated in numerous tumors, such as oral squamous cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer,
osteosarcoma, lung cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, oesophageal
adenocarcinoma and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. However, HNF1A-AS1 is down-regulated in gastroenteropancreatic,
neuroendocrine neoplasms, oral squamous cell carcinoma. Furthermore, HNF1A-AS1 can
affect tumor proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis by targeting some microRNAs-miR-661 and
miR-124. HNF1A-AS1 can also influence the development of tumors by regulating EMT.
Conclusion: These studies show that LncRNA-HNF1A-AS1 is closely related to the occurrence development
of numerous cancers. Through various molecular mechanisms to regulate tumor growth, HNF1A-AS1 can possibly
become the new biological biomarker and therapeutic target for many kinds of tumors.
