摘要:
Background: NR2F1-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lnc RNA) that is involved
in different biological processes. It plays an integral role in the pathophysiology
of human diseases, especially tumorigenesis and progression. Therefore, it may be a
promising target for numerous tumor biotherapeutics. The current review study aimed to
show the pathophysiological activities and processes of RNA NR2F1-AS1 in cancer
cells.
Methods: The contents of the present review were based on information obtained from
PubMed. In the data search, “NR2F1-AS1” was chosen as the first keyword, whereas
“cancer” was chosen as the second keyword. This review selected and summarized
studies published between 2019-2021, concerning the biological functions and mechanisms
of NR2F1-AS1 in the development of tumorigenesis.
Results: It was found that NR2F1-AS1 regulates a variety of biological activities such as
proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis. It acts as an oncogene because it is abnormally
expressed and promotes the progression of cancer in a variety of malignancies,
including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer,
neuroblastoma, endometrial cancer, thyroid cancer, and gastric cancer. However, it
was evident that NR2F1-AS1 inhibits the progression of cancer in cervical squamous cell
carcinoma.
Conclusion: NR2F1-AS1 is a potential new biomarker and therapeutic target for the treatment
of different cancers.
