Gao et al. (2019) noted that HOXC13-AS was upregulated in HNSC samples and that HOXC13-AS knockdown suppressed cell invasion, proliferation, and invasion by modulating HMGA2/miR-383-3p. Li X. W. et al. (2019) noted that HOXC13-AS was overexpressed in breast tumor samples and that HOXC13-AS overexpression induced cell growth by sponging PTEN/miR-497-5p. The gene discussed is PTEN; the disease is breast neoplasm.
