LncRNAAC132217.4, a KLF8-regulated long non-coding RNA, facilitates oral squamous cell carcinoma metastasis by upregulating IGF2 expression

Increasing evidence has revealed the aberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in many cancer types, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, limited investigations report metastasis-related lncRNAs in OSCC. Herein, we report the identification of dysregulated intergenic lncRNAs in the highly metastatic OSCC cell line, UM-SCC6H. One of the lncRNAs, termed AC132217.4, was remarkably upregulated and promoted cell migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by upregulating IGF2 expression.
