LncRNA ASAP‐IT1, located in chromosome 8q24.21 in whole length of 1179bp, was initially found in ovarian cancer for its abnormal expression.84 Zhang et al demonstrated that the expression of ASAP1‐IT1 was relatively up‐regulated in NSCLC cells and tissues, which could promote the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of NSCLC cells through regulating the PTEN/AKT signal pathway.85 This evidence concerns the gene PTEN and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
