Abstract
Increasing reports demonstrate that long noncoding RNAs participate in the regulation of numerous malignancies, cervical cancer included. Although lncRNA LOXL1 antisense RNA 1 has been commonly accepted to be an oncogene in many cancers. Here, the role of LOXL1-AS1 in CC still need to be explored. In this study, LOXL1-AS1 was found elevated in CC tissues and cells. LOXL1-AS1 depletion restrained CC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis in vivo. Furthermore, we found that LOXL1-AS1 upregulated Lysophospholipase 1 expression via sequestering miR‐526b-5p. Rescue assays revealed that overexpression of LYPLA1 reversed the LOXL1-AS1 silencing-induced inhibitory effects on the malignant phenotypes of CC cells. To conclude, this study showed that LOXL1-AS1 facilitates cellular process in CC via functioning as a miR‐526b-5p sponge.
