Recently, numerous studies have demonstrated the oncogenic roles of SOX2-OT in regulating malignancy traits in cancers by sponging miRNAs, including miR-194-5p in gastric cancer19, miR-200 family members in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma20 and miR-146b-5p in nasopharyngeal carcinoma21. Here, OXT is linked to cancer.
