LncRNA epidermal growth factor receptor antisense RNA 1 (EGFR-AS1) facilitated the tumorigenesis and progression of renal cell carcinoma by enhancing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression via binding with RNA binding protein HuR (ELAV like RNA binding protein 1, ELAVL1)21. This evidence concerns the gene ELAVL1 and renal cell carcinoma.
