| Summary |
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n FAM225A is a long non‐coding RNA that is frequently upregulated in multiple cancer types including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma (1,2,3,4,5,6). Elevated FAM225A levels correlate with advanced tumor stage, increased metastasis, and poor patient prognosis. Functionally, FAM225A promotes tumor progression by enhancing cell proliferation, migration, invasion, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and even chemoresistance. Mechanistically, it acts as a competing endogenous RNA that sponges various microRNAs—for instance, miR‐206, miR‐613, miR‐326, miR‐197‐5p, and miR‐130a‐5p—thereby relieving the inhibitory effects on oncogenic targets such as NETO2, FOXP1, NOTCH3, PADI2, ADAM12, NONO, and CCNG1. This FAM225A‐mediated regulatory network underscores its pivotal role in tumor aggressiveness and highlights its potential as both a prognostic biomarker and a promising therapeutic target.\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n ["}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "6"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "]\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Chunyu Zhang, Yan Luo, Jingjing Cao, et al.
