Objectives:
To investigate the expression patterns of long non-coding RNA OIP5-AS1 across various stages of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and assess its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target.
Design:
A comprehensive review of recent literature focusing on OIP5-AS1's role in OSCC was conducted. Analysis included OIP5-AS1 expression levels in cancerous versus non-cancerous tissues and exploration of its interactions with tumor-suppressing microRNAs (miRNAs).
Results:
OIP5-AS1 was found to be significantly upregulated in advanced stages of OSCC compared to non-cancerous tissues. Its function as a molecular sponge for miRNAs contributes to the promotion of tumorigenic pathways, complicating therapeutic responses and highlighting its role as an oncogene.
Conclusions:
OIP5-AS1 is a critical player in the progression of OSCC, influencing tumor dynamics and mechanisms of resistance. Elucidating its expression patterns and functional roles suggests that OIP5-AS1 could serve as a valuable biomarker for early diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies.
