Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 519 ( LINC00519 ) promotes the development of lung squamous cell carcinoma. In this study, we detected the expression of LINC00519 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) and examined its clinical significance. Additionally, the regulatory effects of LINC00519 on behaviors of TSCC tumor cells were explored through functional experiments. Finally, mechanistic studies were performed to elucidate the molecular events underlying the tumor-promoting actions of LINC00519 in TSCC.
