### CD27-AS1 Gene Overview
CD27-AS1 (CD27 Antisense RNA 1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene located on chromosome 1. It is transcribed from the opposite strand of the CD27 gene, which encodes a receptor involved in T-cell activation and memory. The function of CD27-AS1 is largely centered around its regulatory role in gene expression and cellular processes.

#### 1. Associated Genes
CD27-AS1 has been reported to be associated with several genes, including but not limited to:
- **CD27**: The gene on the opposite strand, which is involved in the immune response.
- **IL-6**: A cytokine that plays a role in inflammation and the immune response.
- **CD28**: Another important co-stimulatory receptor in T cells.
These associations may derive from the lncRNA's influence on immune-related pathways and inflammation processes.

#### 2. Aging and Age-related Diseases
Research has suggested several implications of CD27-AS1 in aging and related diseases:
- **Immunosenescence**: CD27 could be involved in the decline of immune function with age. Altered levels of CD27-AS1 have been observed in elderly populations, suggesting that this lncRNA might play a role in age-related changes in immune response.
- **Cancer**: Some studies indicate that CD27-AS1 could be implicated in various types of cancer, possibly due to its regulatory effects on genes associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis, common factors in tumorigenesis.

#### 3. Drug Interactions
As of the latest update, there are no specific drugs listed that directly interact with CD27-AS1. However, given its association with immune responses and inflammation, drugs that modify immune activity (such as immunotherapies or anti-inflammatory agents) may indirectly influence its expression and function.

#### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
CD27-AS1 is involved in several biological processes and pathways, including:
- **Immune Response**: CD27-AS1 is linked to T-cell activation and proliferation due to its association with the CD27 gene.
- **Cytokine Signaling**: It may regulate genes involved in the secretion of cytokines such as IL-6 and potentially influence inflammatory responses.
- **Cancer Progression**: Pathways involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis are also likely influenced by CD27-AS1, contributing to tumor biology.

#### Summary
The CD27-AS1 gene is a long non-coding RNA that plays a significant role in the regulation of immune responses, particularly T-cell activity. Its associations with age-related changes in immune function and potential implications in cancer highlight its importance in health and disease. Current research continues to explore its full scope as well as potential therapeutic targets related to CD27-AS1.
