Long noncoding RNA LEF1-AS1 silencing suppresses the initiation and development of prostate cancer by acting as a molecular sponge of miR-330-5p via LEF1 repression.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the major cancers affecting males with high mortality around the world. Recent studies have found that some long noncoding RNAs play a critical part in the cellular processes of PCa. In our study, aberrant expressed lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 antisense RNA 1 (LEF1-AS1), microRNA-330-5p (miR-330-5p), and lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 (LEF1) were screened out from a microarray database, the role of the novel noncoding RNA regulatory circuitry in the initiation and development of PCa was investigated.

The antitumor effect of the novel cancer-specific adenovirus Ad-VEGFR on bladder cancer in vitro and in vivo.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers. Approaches that block tumor angiogenesis are a new therapeutic strategy for locally advanced or metastatic BC. VEGF/VEGFR signaling has been obviously and negatively correlated with the progression and invasion of cancer.
