The long non-coding FGD5-AS1 (LncFGD5-AS1) has been reported to be a novel carcinogenic gene and participant in regulating tumor progression by sponging microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the pattern of expression and the biological role of FGD5-AS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains largely unknown. The expression level of FGD5-AS1 in tumor tissues and cell lines was measured by RT-qPCR. CCK-8, EdU, flow cytometry, wound healing, and transwell chamber assays were performed to investigate the role of FGD5-AS1 in cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion in HCC. Dual luciferase reporter, and RNA pull-down assays were performed to identify the regulatory interactions among FGD5-AS1, miR-873-5p and GTP-binding protein 4 (GTPBP4). We found that the expression of FGD5-AS1 was upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. Moreover, the knockdown of FGD5-AS1 suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced apoptosis in HCC cells. Further studies demonstrated that FGD5-AS1 could function as a competitive RNA by sponging miR-873-5p in HCC cells. Moreover, GTPBP4 was identified as direct downstream target of miR-873-5p in HCC cells and FGD5-AS1mediated the effects of GTPBP4 by competitively binding with miR-873-5p. Taken together, this study demonstrated the regulatory role of FGD5-AS1 in the progression of HCC and identified the miR-873-5p/GTPBP4 axis as the direct downstream pathway. It represents a promising novel therapeutic strategy for HCC patients.
