Therefore, we identified some potential target miRNAs of UCA1 in OSCC using bioinformatics tools, and miR‐143‐3p was confirmed as a potential target for UCA1. Previous reports have revealed that miR‐143‐3p inhibits colorectal cancer metastases by targeting ITGA6 and ASAP3. 44 In addition, miR‐143‐3p suppresses the growth and invasiveness of melanoma cells by targeting cyclooxygenase‐2.45 Furthermore, miR‐143‐3p can be targeted by other lncRNAs, including ADAMTS9‐AS2,46OIP5‐AS1,47 and OECC,48 to inhibit tumor cell invasion and migration. The gene discussed is UCA1; the disease is melanoma.
