The present study investigated the role of lncRNA Opa interacting protein 5©\antisense RNA 1 (OIP5©\AS1) in the progression of breast cancer. OIP5©\AS1 was significantly upregulated in breast cancer tissues and in breast cancer cell lines, and OIP5©\AS1 downregulation inhibited the malignant behavior of breast cancer in vitro and in vivo. For in©\depth exploration of the mechanism of OIP5©\AS1 in breast cancer, we found that expression of microRNA©\129©\5p(miR©\129©\5p), which was found to bind sites in the sequence of OIP5©\AS1, in breast cancer tissues was negatively correlated with OIP5©\AS1. Also, luciferase assays indicated that OIP5©\AS1 acted as a miR©\129©\5p sponge, resulting in upregulated expression of the sex©\determining region Y©\box 2 (SOX2) transcription factor. Our study showed that OIP5©\AS1 plays a critical role in promoting breast cancer progression and that OIP5©\AS1 downregulation targets SOX2 by miR©\129©\5p upregulation %K breast cancer %K ceRNA %K lncRNA %K malignant phenotype %K miR©\129©\5p %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6317922/
