Fig. 1. lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 is oncogenic in renal cancer and is a direct target of miR-141.

a Expression levels of CDKN2B-AS1 among KIRC (normal = 72, tumor = 518), KICH (normal = 25, tumor = 66) and KIRP (normal = 30, tumor = 197) patient samples in TCGA cohort using Wanderer software (P-value calculated by Mann–Whitney two-tailed test). b Expression of CDKN2B-AS1 in TCGA-KIRC cohort among different grades (normal = 72, grade 1–2 = 214, grade 3–4 = 268) and stages (normal = 72, stage I–II = 288 and stage III–IV = 203). c Overall survival in TCGA-KIRC cohort as performed by Kaplan–Meier analysis (using UALCAN software). d Relative expression levels of lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 in RCC cell lines ACHN and Caki1. e Expression CDKN2B-AS1 in matched pairs of RCC tissue samples from SFVAMC cohort (P-value calculated by Mann–Whitney two-tailed test). f Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis on SFVAMC cohort showing ability of lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 to differentiate between malignant and non-malignant samples (SFVAMC cohort). g Predicted binding sites of miR-141 in CDKN2B-AS1 sequence. h Luciferase assays showing decreased reporter activity after co-transfection with either wild-type (WT), off-target (OT) CDKN2B-AS1 or luciferase control constructs (EV) with miR-CON/miR-141 in ACHN and Caki1 cells.
