Long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)have become a hotspot in biomedical research.This interest reflects their extensive involvement in the regulation of the expression of other genes,and their influence on the occurrence and development of a variety of human diseases.Actin filament associated protein 1-Antisense RNA 1(AFAP1-AS1)is a recently discovered onco-genic lncRNA.It is highly expressed in a variety of solid tumors,and regulates the expression of downstream genes and signaling pathways through adsorption and competing microRNAs,or by the direct binding to other proteins.Ultimately,AFAP1-AS1 promotes proliferation,chemotherapy resistance,and resistance to apoptosis,maintains stemness,and enhances invasion and migration of tumor cells.This paper summarizes the research concerning AFAP1-AS1 in malignant tumors,including the clinical application prospects of AFAP1-AS1 as a potential molecular marker and therapeutic target of malignant tumors.We also discuss the limitations in the knowledge of AFAP1-AS1 and directions of further research.AFAP1-AS1 is expected to provide an example for studies of other lncRNA molecules.
