The long noncoding RNA, small nucleolar RNA host gene 8 (SNHG8), is upregulated in multiple human cancer types. However, whether SNHG8 is aberrantly expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and its biological functions have yet to be elucidated. Thus, we aimed to determine the expression status of SNHG8 in ESCC, explore the effects of SNHG8 on the oncogenicity of ESCC, and investigate the potential underlying mechanisms.
