BBOX1-AS1 is an upregulated lncRNA in esophageal squamous cell cancer tissues, and its increased expression is associated with poor overall survival, lymph node metastasis, increased tumor size, and TNM stage in affected patients; BBOX1-AS1 knockdown results in decreased proliferation, invasion, migration, and increased apoptosis and ferroptosis via the BBOX1-AS1/miR-513a-3p/SLC7A11 axis [148]. This evidence concerns the gene SLC7A11 and neoplasm.
