Abstract:
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of various cancers. HOXD-AS1, an antisense RNA 1 of the lncRNA HOXD cluster, (also known as HAGLR, MIR7704HG, Mdgt, and STEEL), is located at human chromosome 2q31.1. Recent studies have demonstrated that the abnormal expression of HOXD-AS1 is significantly correlated with the clinicopathological features of patients with various tumors. The expression of HOXD-AS1 is abnormal in various tumors, affecting tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, invasion, metabolism, and drug resistance. HOXD-AS1 is important for cancer diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. Detecting its expression level helps judge cancer progression and predict patient survival. It is a therapeutic target and biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis, with good clinical application prospects. This article reviews the role, molecular mechanisms, and potential clinical value of HOXD-AS1 in malignant tumor development.
