HOTTIP was abnormally increased in oral cancer. Besides, when HOTTIP was knocked down in oral cancer cell lines, miR-206-206 was remarkably up-regulated. Dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment confirmed the binding relationship between miR-206 and HOTTIP.
Causality:
Yes
Causal Description:
The results of cell functional experiments found that HOTTIP played a role in promoting tumor proliferation and migration in oral cancer cells. B
Clinical-realted Application:
At the same time, the survival analysis showed that the higher expression of HOTTIP was significantly correlated with a shorter overall survival.
