The mechanism of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear. The present study investigated the abnormal expression of long non-coding (lnc)RNAs in NPC tissues and one NPC cell line to identify the involvement of lncRNAs in the tumorigenesis of NPC. Using a quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), the expression of lncRNA C22orf32-1 in NPC tissues and an NPC cell line was verified. The effects of lncRNA C22orf32-1 on NPC cells were investigated with a cell proliferation assay, cell scratch assay, Transwell assay and a cell apoptosis assay. The expression levels of lncRNA C22orf32-1 in NPC tissues and an NPC cell line were upregulated. lncRNA C22orf32-1 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of NPC cells, and reduced the apoptosis of NPC cells. The data demonstrated that lncRNA C22orf32-1 may facilitate the tumorigenesis of NPC, and may be used for the early diagnosis and treatment of NPC.
