Abstract

transcription. There is a significant correlation between the expression of ZEB1-AS1 and ZEB1 in osteosarcoma tissues. ZEB1 depletion abrogates the roles of ZEB1-AS1 on the proliferation and migration of osteosarcoma cells. Collectively, these findings demonstrated that ZEB1-AS1 functions as an oncogene in osteosarcoma via epigenetically activating ZEB1 and could be a potential target for osteosarcoma treatment.
