Deregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been implicated in tumorigenesis. FALEC is a lncRNA upregulated in multiple cancer types. FALEC functions as an oncogene through various mechanisms, such as competitively binding miRNAs and regulation of PI3K/AKT, Tp53 and phosphatase and tensin homolog signaling pathways. Pertinent to clinical practice, the use of FALEC as a putative biomarker has been identified. These findings suggested that FALEC might play a pivotal role in human cancers. Further studies are warranted to examine the diagnostic and prognostic performance of FALEC as a noninvasive biomarker in liquid biopsy samples and promote its development to be a clinically utilizable prognostic cancer biomarker and molecular therapeutic target.

Abstract Objective Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most aggressive women cancers with increasing incidence and mortality rates worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could as major players in OC process. Although FAM83H antisense RNA1 (FAM83H-AS1) is demonstrated play an important roles in a many cancers, the detailed function and mechanism has not been reported in OC. Results We integrated multiple kinds of bioinformatics approaches and experiments validated method to evaluate functions of FAM83H-AS1 in OC. Some differential expressed lncRNAs were identified between OC and normal control tissues. FAM83H-AS1 was one of most differentially expressed lncRNAs and up-regulated in multiple cancer types. Specially, expression of FAM83H-AS1 was higher in OC and showed difference in diverse stages. High FAM83H-AS1 expression is associated with worse pan-cancer and OC outcomes. FAM83H-AS1-centric network including lncRNA-miRNA, lncRNA-protein and lncRNA-mRNA ceRNA network were constructed to infer the function and mechanism of FAM83H-AS1. There were two methylation sites including cg01399317 and cg20519035 located at FAM83H-AS1. The methylation level of cg01399317 was correlated with gene expression of FAM83H-AS1. The expression level of FAM83H-AS1 was correlated with infiltration level of immune cell including macrophage, neutrphil and dendritic cell in OC patients. Lastly, qRT-PCR showed that the expression of FAM83H-AS1 was higher in OC tissues than normal control tissues. Conclusion Collectively, these results indicated that FAM83H-AS1 may act as an oncogenic driver and it may be a potential therapy target in OC.
