Abstract:
Nowadays, accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) play vital roles in tumorigenesis. As a newly discovered lncRNA, FEZ family zinc finger 1-antisense RNA 1 (FEZF1-AS1) is markedly upregulated in various malignant tumors including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Aberrant expression of FEZF1-AS1 is related to clinical characteristics of patients with NSCLC and suggests poor prognosis. Moreover, FEZF1-AS1 can regulate numerous biological processes, such as cell proliferation, migration and invasion through different mechanisms. In this article, we systematically summarize the recent research progress of FEZF1-AS1 in NSCLC, which might be a novel target for clinical therapy.

Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
