Suppression of the long non-coding RNA MALAT-1 impairs the growth and migration of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma SCC4 cells.
Conclusions: Elevated expression of MALAT-1 in OSCC may play a role in tumorigenesis and/or metastasis. Further studies are necessary to identify the mechanism by which MALAT-1 influences SCC4 growth and migration and validate its increased expression in OSCC patients.
