We in this study investigated the role of lncRNA NR2F2-AS1 in prostate carcinoma (PC). We showed that NR2F2-AS1 was upregulated in PC and positively correlated with CDK4. In PC cells, NR2F2-AS1 overexpression led to upregulated, while NR2F2-AS1 siRNA silencing led to downregulated CDK4. Follow-up study revealed that high levels of NR2F2-AS1 and CDK4 in PC tissues were closely correlated with the poor survival of PC patients. Cell proliferation data showed that NR2F2-AS1 overexpression led to increased, while NR2F2-AS1 siRNA silencing led to proliferation rate of PC cells. Moreover, NR2F2-AS1 also showed positive effects on cell cycle progression. In addition, CDK4 overexpression reduced the effects of NR2F2-AS1 siRNA silencing. Therefore, NR2F2-AS1 positively regulates CDK4 to promote cancer cell proliferation in PC.
