Dysregulation of FOXD2-AS1 promotes cell proliferation and migration and predicts poor prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma: a study based on TCGA data.

ABSTRACT: FOXD2 adjacent opposite strand RNA 1 (FOXD2-AS1) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of some cancers. However, its functional role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains largely unknown. In this study, we conducted expressional and functional analyses of FOXD2-AS1 using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and in vitro OSCC assays. FOXD2-AS1 dysregulation was remarkably associated with radiation therapy, anatomic location, high histologic grade, and lymphovascular invasion (P < 0.05). A nomogram based on FOXD2-AS1 expression was constructed for use as a diagnostic indicator for OSCC patients, and multivariate cox regression analysis showed that FOXD2-AS1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for OSCC patients.
