Abstract:
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common type of laryngeal cancer with poor prognosis. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the biological role of long non-coding RNA OIP5-AS1 in LSCC. The results demonstrated that the expression levels of OIP5-AS1 were significantly increased in LSCC tissues and cell lines. High expression of OIP5-AS1 was closely correlated with lymph node metastasis and advanced clinical stage of LSCC patients. Moreover, in vitro assays showed that OIP5-AS1 overexpression promoted the proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of LSCC cells, whereas OIP5-AS1 knockdown exerted suppressive effects on LSCC cells. Furthermore, OIP5-AS1 was confirmed to serve as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-204-5p in LSCC cells, and restoration of miR-204-5p counteracted the OIP5-AS1-mediated oncogenic effects. In conclusion, our study provides promising evidence that lncRNA OIP5-AS1 functions as a tumor promoter in LSCC and may be used as a potential target for LSCC therapy.
