Abstract Long non-coding RNA is an endogenous non-coding RNA that has currently been proved to be an important player in cancer cell biology. In the present study, we investigated the biological role of PHACTR2-AS1 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). PHACTR2-AS1 was preferentially localized in the cytoplasm, and was notably upregulated in TSCC tissues. High PHACTR2-AS1 was correlated with tumour differentiation, metastatic clinical features, relapse and shortened survival time. Depletion of PHACTR2-AS1 did not affect TSCC cell viability and colony formation ability, whereas substantially inhibited cell migration and invasion in vitro and lung metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, PHACTR2-AS1 could sponge miR-137 to increase Snail expression, resulting in triggering epithelial–mesenchymal transition process, thereby promoting TSCC cell metastasis. Taken together, our data for the first time elucidate the metastasis-promoting role of PHACTR2-AS1 in TSCC, hinting a new therapeutic target for metastatic TSCC patients.
