DARS-AS1 promotes clear cell renal cell carcinoma by sequestering miR-194-5p to up-regulate DARS
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most frequent subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), is characterized by high relapse rate and mortality. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical participants during cancer development. LncRNA DARS antisense RNA 1 (DARS-AS1), a newly-found lncRNA, is...

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most frequent subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), is characterized by high relapse rate and mortality. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical participants during cancer development. LncRNA DARS antisense RNA 1 (DARS-AS1), a newly-found lncRNA, is not specifically reported in ccRCC. However, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and starBase databases revealed the up-regulation of DARS-AS1 in ccRCC. Current study investigated the function and mechanism of DARS-AS1 in ccRCC. Functional assays including colony formation assay, EdU assay, caspase-3 activity detection, flow cytometry analysis and JC-1 assay were implemented to identify the role of DARS-AS1 in ccRCC.
