LINC00958 is specifically upregulated in tongue cancer tissues and tumor cell lines. a Relative expression of LINC00958 in normal tissues and different stages of TSCC tissues. Data were downloaded and analyzed from the TCGA database. b Relative expression of LINC00958 in normal tissues and different clinical T-staging of TSCC tissues. The data were downloaded and analyzed from the TCGA database. c Kaplan–Meier analysis of the correlation between LINC00958 expression and overall survival. The data were downloaded and analyzed from the TCGA database. d RT-qPCR analysis was applied to measure the expression of LINC00958 in TSCC tissues (n = 24) and normal tissues (n = 24) by RT-qPCR. e RT-qPCR analysis was applied to measure the expression of LINC00958 in HOK and 5 TSCC cell lines ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001
