Annotated Information
Name
BTG3-AS1:BTG3 antisense RNA 1
ASBEL[1]
Characteristics
ASBEL is transcribed from chromosome 21 (21q21.1), and encodes a conserved, 2-kb ncRNA (termed ASBEL [antisense ncRNA in the ANA/BTG3 (three) locus]). the 5' region of ASBEL is complementary to a portion of the 5' untranslated region (UTR) and the first exon of ANA/BTG3 mRNA [1].
Function
In ovarian carcinoma, ASBEL promotes tumorigenesis through suppressing translation of the sense gene (ANA/BTG3) [1]. ASBEL forms duplexes with ANA/BTG3 mRNA in the nucleus and suppresses its cytoplasmic transportation, leading to negative regulation of ANA/BTG3 at protein level without changing of its mRNA level [1][2].
ASBEL also plays a key role in Wnt/β-catenin-mediated tumorigenesis [2]. ASBEL interacts with and recruits transcription factor 3 (TCF3) to the activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) locus and represses the expression of ATF3, resulting in proliferation and tumorigenicity of colon tumor cells [2].
Regulation
β-catenin is found to directly enhance the transcription of ASBEL [2]. ASBEL represses transcripting of ATF3, and ATF3 functions as a component in the negative feedback loop that inhibits ASBEL expression [2].
Disease
ovarian carcinoma [1]
colorectal cancer [2]
Expression
ASBEL expression is higher in stage I–III colon cancer than in normal tissues [2].
