Antisense ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (antisense Uchl1, UCHL1-AS1) is a spliced antisense long noncoding RNAs (LncRNA) of Uchl1 which may influence UCHL1 protein level in human cancers. The aim of this study was to detect the expression of LncRNA UCHL1-AS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and reveal the correlation between UCHL1-AS1 level and clinicopathological parameters. In current study, the expression of UCHL1-AS1 was detected by RT-qPCR in 72 HCC and adjacent noncancerous liver tissues, as well as in five HCC cell lines and a normal liver epithelium cell line L-O2. The correlation of UCHL1-AS1 level with clinicopathological parameters of HCC was analyzed by the Chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model. We found that the relative expression of UCHL1-AS1 in HCC was significantly lower than that in adjacent noncancerous liver tissues (P<0.0001). The area under curve (AUC) of UCHL1-AS1 was 0.787 (95% CI 0.713 to 0.861, P<0.0001). On the other hand, lower expression of UCHL1-AS1 was found in three HCC cell lines compared to the normal liver epithelial cell line L-O2 (P<0.05). Of note, UCHL1-AS1 expression level showed significant correlation with hepatitis history (r=-0.336, P=0.002), portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) (r=-0.302, P=0.010) and distant metastasis (r=-0.235, P=0.047). To conclude, these findings support that UCHL1-AS1 is down-regulated in HCC and might be of value for the prediction of carcinogenic progression.
