BBOX1 antisense RNA 1 (BBOX1‐AS1) expression is significantly elevated in cervical cancer (CC) tissues and cells. A, Venn diagram showed the overlaps of the analysis. B, The expression levels of these long non‐coding RNAs were detected by RT‐qPCR in 3 paired CC tissues and corresponding non‐cancer tissues. C, RT‐qPCR detected BBOX1‐AS1 expression in CC tissues and matched normal tissues. D, BBOX1‐AS1 expression was analysed via RT‐qPCR in early or advanced stages of CC patients. E, The expression of BBOX1‐AS1 in CC cell lines (C33A, CaSki, HeLa and SiHa) and normal cervical epithelial cell line (H8) was examined by RT‐qPCR. F, Subcellular fractionation and FISH assays were adopted for the detection of the subcellular localization of BBOX1‐AS1 in CC cells. ^** P < .01
