ABSTRACT
LincRNA FEZF1-AS1 has been identified to exert oncogenic functions in various biological processes of tumorigenesis. However, the function of FEZF1-AS1 in lung adenocarcinoma still remains unclear. Our findings revealed that FEZF1-AS1 was increased in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and cell lines and high level of FEZF1-AS1 was associated with poor prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma. Functional experiments and mechanistic investigations demonstrated that knockdown of FEZF1-AS1 significantly repressed proliferation through influencing the distribution of cell cycle. Besides, we also uncovered that FEZF1-AS1 could suppress p57 expression through recruiting EZH2 and LSD1 to the promoter of p57, thus influenced the cell cycle and proliferation. Collectively, our results suggested that FEZF1-AS1 was involved in the progression of lung adenocarcinoma and might be as a potential therapy target for human lung adenocarcinoma.
