Recent researches have uncovered that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely correlated with the development of different diseases, while biological functions and hidden molecular mechanisms of antisense lncRNAs in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain unclear. Here, we identified upregulation of LINC01116 in RNA sequencing data, online database, and in OSCC and intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN) specimens. Functionally, LINC01116 facilitates OSCC advancement and metastasis in vitro and vivo. Mechanistically, elevated expression of LINC01116 in OSCC cells other than tumor stroma and cytoplasmic enables it to activate AGO1 expression via complementary binding with AGO1 mRNA to facilitate EMT process of OSCC.
