摘      要：Many studies have illustrated the significance of long noncoding RNAs in oncogenesis and promotion of breast cancer(BC).However,the biological roles of CCDC183 antisense RNA 1(CCDC183-AS1)in BC have rarely been characterized.Thus,we explored whether CCDC183-AS1 is involved in the malignancy of BC and elucidated the possible underlying mechanisms.Our data confirmed elevated CCDC183-AS1 expression in BC,which was associated with poor clinical outcomes.Functionally,knocking down CCDC183-AS1 hampered cell proliferation,colony formation,migration,and invasion in BC.Additionally,the absence of CCDC183-AS1 restrained tumor growth in vivo.Mechanistically,CCDC183-AS1 executed as a competitive endogenous RNA in BC cells by decoying microRNA-3918(miR-3918)and consequently overexpressing fibroblast growth factor receptor 1(FGFR1).Furthermore,functional rescue experiments confirmed that inactivation of the miR-3918/FGFR1 regulatory axis by inhibiting miR-3918 or increasing FGFR1 expression could abrogate the CCDC183-AS1 ablation-mediated repressive effects in BC cells.In summary,CCDC183-AS1 deteriorates the malignancy of BC cells by controlling miR-3918/FGFR1 regulatory axis.We believe that our study can deepen our understanding of BC etiology and contribute to an improvement in treatment choices.
