miR-219 inhibits the growth and metastasis of TSCC cells by targeting PRKCI.

Tongue squamous cells carcinoma (TSCC) is the most common type in oral cancers. Recently, accumulating evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in tumorigenesis. Here, we demonstrated that miR-219 was significantly downregulated in TSCC tissues and cell lines.
