OIP5-AS1 is a long non-coding transcript with high expression in nervous system, but crucial functions in the neoplastic transformation. This lncRNA partake in the regulation of cell cycle transition at different points. Moreover, it acts a competing endogenous RNA for tens of microRNAs among them are miR-338-3p, miR-204-5p, miR-641, miR-422a, miR-367-3p, miR-153-3p, miR-186, miR-369-3p, miR-137, miR-342-3p, miR‑429, miR-3163, miR-363-3p, miR-186a-5p, hsa-miR-26a-3p, miR‑300, miR-217, miR-378a-3p and miR-448. OIP5-AS1 influence the carcinogenesis via different routes among them is modulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Expression of OIP5-AS1 has been elevated in nearly all kinds of neoplastic tissues except for multiple myeloma. Moreover, in bladder, gastric cancer and lung cancers, assessment of its expression in clinical samples has led to conflicting results. In the current paper, we have provided a comprehensive collection of research papers that evaluated function of OIP5-AS1 in diverse cancer types.
