Long noncoding RNA LncHIFCAR/MIR31HG is a HIF-1α co-activator driving oral cancer progression

Cancer cells adapt to the changing microenvironment by activating different pathways through multiple mechanisms. Here the authors identify long noncoding RNAMIR31HGas a HIF-1α co-activator required for the induction of the hypoxic response and show its oncogenic role in oral carcinogenesis.
