Antisense RNA (AS) is a type of long non-coding RNAs that functions as a post-transcriptional regulatory element on regulating parental coding gene expression via directly binding to complementary mRNA sequences. We aimed to investigate the effect of the AS to FEZF1 gene on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) development. The expression level of lncRNA FEZF-AS1 and FEZF1 was determined by the quantitative Real-time PCR in 160 cases of NSCLC tissues and their adjacent non-tumour tissues. We found that lncRNA FEZF-AS1 was significantly up-regulated in tumour tissues when compared to the adjacent non-cancerous tissues (Pâ¯=â¯0.001), and it's high expression correlated with advanced stages (Pâ¯=â¯0.002) and Tumour Family History (Pâ¯=â¯0.029). Meanwhile, In 58 cases of NSCLC tissues the expression of lncRNA FEZF-AS1 was positively associated with that of FEZF1expression (râ¯=â¯0.8810, pâ¯=â¯1.6575E-20). By GEPIA database analysis, we also found that the expression of lncRNA FEZF-AS1 and FEZF1 were significantly higher in tumour tissues than those of the adjacent non-cancerous tissues in 969 NSCLC patients (Pâ¯<â¯0.05), and lncRNA FEZF-AS1 was positively correlated with FEZF1 (râ¯=â¯0.90, Pâ¯<â¯0.001). These results suggest that lncRNA FEZF-AS1 relate to the progression of lung cancer patients and it may be a potential target for cancer therapy.
