HNF1A-AS1 is upregulated in clinical BC tissues and cultured BC cells. (A) qPCR analysis of the 30 clinical patients with BC and their adjacent non-cancerous tissues. The relative transcript levels of HNF1A-AS1 in BC tissues were increased ~4-fold compared with that of adjacent tissues. (B) qPCR analysis of the transcript level of HNF1A-AS1 in four BC cell lines and one normal urothelial SV-HUC-1 cell line. The relative transcript levels in the four BC cell lines were significantly increased compared with the control. *P<0.05 vs. SV-HUC-1. HNF1A-AS1, hepatocyte nuclear factor 1A-antisense RNA1; BC, bladder cancer; qPCR, quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
