Wilms' tumor N/A renal and haematopoietic cells down-regulated expression Both wt1-as and the novel awt1 transcript are imprinted in normal kidney with expression confined to the paternal allele. 14681303
acute myeloid leukemia qPCR etc. bone marrow tissue differential expression epigenetics The incidence of WIT-1 methylation in primary refractory AML was significantly higher than that noted in chemosensitive AML. 10340388 LncRNADisease Lnc2Cancer
acute myeloid leukemia qPCR etc. Bone marrow up-regulated Interaction In AML, there is often abnormal splicing of WT1-AS, which may play a role in the development of this malignancy. 17940140 LncRNADisease Lnc2Cancer
Wilms' tumor qPCR etc. Bone marrow up-regulated Interaction WT1 is a gene that is mutated in Wilms' tumor (WT) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and has an antisense transcript (WT1-AS), which was found to regulate WT1 protein levels. 17940140 LncRNADisease Lnc2Cancer
gastric cancer qPCR etc. gastric cancer tissue, cell lines (SGC7901, BGC823, MKN45, MKN28, NCI-N87, AGS, HS-746T, GES-1) down-regulated expression We found that WT1-AS expression was significantly down-regulated in tumor tissues compared to matched adjacent non-tumor tissues. The WT1-AS expression level was also associated with tumor size and the clinicopathological stage. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were inhibited, and the proportion of G0/G1 cells increased when WT1-AS was ectopically-expressed in gastric cancer cells. Furthermore, ectopic expression of WT1-AS was demonstrated to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Finally, we found that WT1-AS overexpression could decrease ERK protein phosphorylation. 26449525 Lnc2Cancer
Wilms' tumor qPCR, Southern blot, knockdown etc. Wilms' tumor tissue differential expression epigenetics A CTCF-binding silencer regulates the imprinted genes AWT1 and WT1-AS and exhibits sequential epigenetic defects during Wilms' tumourigenesis. 17210670 LncRNADisease Lnc2Cancer
hepatocelluar carcinoma qPCR, Western blot, Luciferase reporter assay etc. hepatocellular carcinoma tissue down-regulated interaction WT1-AS expression correlated negatively with WT1 expression in HCC tumor tissue. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis revealed that WT1-AS expression is a reliable indicator of HCC prognosis. The downregulation of WT1 expression by WT1-AS promoted cell apoptosis by suppressing the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway. Bioinformatics analysis showed that WT1-AS downregulates WT1 by binding to the TATA region of the WT1 promotor. WT1-AS was also able to reverse WT1-mediated resistance to Dox based chemotherapy in HCC cells 26462627 Lnc2Cancer
