Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in progression of bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC). However, the molecular mechanisms behind this role have not been elucidated yet. Here, we found that the lncRNA MAFG-AS1, which is highly expressed in BUC, is correlated with aggressive characteristics and poor prognosis of BUC. We demonstrate that MAFG-AS1 can promote BUC proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, MAFG-AS1 ...[more]
