Zhao J, Bai X, Feng C, et al. - In 73 paired oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues and their adjacent normal tissues, the HCP5 and miR-140-5p expression level was discovered in order to examine the functional role of lncRNA HCP5 in OSCC progression. Results showed that in OSCC tissues and cell lines, HCP5 expression was significantly increased. In this current research, it was shown that HCP5/miR-140-5p/SOX4 axis could be a substantial and hopeful therapeutic target for OSCC.
