LncRNA HOXA-AS2 Promotes Tumor Progression by Suppressing miR-567 Expression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

LncRNA HOXA-AS2 was up-regulated in OSCC, and its up-regulation correlated with poor clinical outcomes. The lncRNA also promoted OSCC cell proliferation by directly binding to miR-567, leading to an increase in CDK8 expression. The potential prognostic value of lncRNA HOXA-AS2 should be explored in future studies.
