Long non-coding RNA KCNQ1OT1 facilitates the progression of cervical cancer and tumor growth through modulating miR-296-5p/HYOU1 axis

Literature reports that lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 is markedly up-regulated in cervical cancer (CC) tissues and cell lines, and KCNQ1OT1 can promote the proliferation and metastasis of CC cells. This current work was designed to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the participation of KCNQ1OT1 in CC...
