Long non-coding RNA AFAP1-AS1 facilitates ovarian cancer progression by regulating the miR-107/PDK4 axis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAbnormally expressed in various tumors, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) feature prominently in tumor development, yet little is still known regarding the functional roles of lncRNA AFAP1 antisense RNA 1 (AFAP1-AS1) in ovarian cancer (OC).
methodsThe relative expression levels of lncRNA AFAP1-AS1, microRNA (miR)-107 and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isozyme 4 (PDK4) mRNA were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR. PDK4, PCNA and cyclin D1 expression levels were determined using Western blot analysis. Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase gene reporter assay were conducted for identifying and validating the binding sequences between AFAP1-AS1 and miR-107, as well as between miR-107 and PDK4. Cell counting kit-8 assay was employed for detecting cell proliferation. Cell migration and invasion abilities were examined using Transwell assays.
resultsThe present study revealed that AFAP1-AS1 expression was elevated in OC cells and tissues. AFAP1-AS1 expression and FIGO stage were positively correlated. AFAP1-AS1 knockdown repressed OC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. AFAP1-AS1 functioned as a sponge of miR-107, and miR-107 reversed the effects of AFAP1-AS1 on OC cells. It was validated that miR-107 was able to bind to PDK4, and AFAP1-AS1 regulated PDK4 expression by competitively binding with miR-107. Additionally, miR-107 modulated OC cell proliferation, migration and invasion via targeting PDK4.
conclusionsLncRNA AFAP1-AS1 serves as a tumor driver in the pathogenesis of OC via the miR-107/PDK4 axis.
