Long non-coding RNA HAND2-AS1 inhibits invasion and metastasis in endometrioid endometrial carcinoma through inactivating neuromedin U

Endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC) is one of the common causes of cancer-related mortality in women. Mounting evidences suggest that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) function in multiple cancers. In this study, we discovered that HAND2-AS1, a lncRNA transcribed antisense adjacent to Heart and Neural Crest Derivatives Expressed 2 (HAND2) in chromosome 4q33-34, is significantly down-regulated in EEC. HAND2-AS1 and HAND2 were frequently down-regulated in EEC tissues, especially in poor differentiated tumor tissues.
