Oral squamous cell cancer (OSCC) is a prevalent malignancy in oral cavity, accounting for nearly 90% of oral malignancies. It ranks sixth among the most common types of cancer worldwide and is responsible for approximately 145,000 deaths each year. It is widely accepted that noncoding RNAs participate cancer development in competitive regulatory interaction, knowing as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, whereby long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) function as decoys of microRNAs to regulate gene expression. LncRNA FOXD2-AS1 was reported to exert an oncogenic role in OSCC. Nevertheless, the ceRNA network mediated by FOXD2-AS1 was not investigated yet. This study aimed to explore the effect of FOXD2-AS1 on OSCC cell process and the underlying ceRNA mechanism.
