Long non-coding RNA FTH1P3 facilitates oral squamous cell carcinoma progression by acting as a molecular sponge of miR-224-5p to modulate fizzled 5 expression
FTH1P3 is up-regulated in human primary OSCC tissues. Expression of fizzled 5 is up-regulated in primary human OSCC and negatively expressed related to miR-224-5p. miR-224-5p inhibits the tumorigenic potential of OSCC cells by down-regulating oncogenic FZD5 gene. FTH1P3′s oncogenic functions are partially through reverse regulation of miRNA-224-5p, and then activation of fizzled 5.
