Long non-coding RNA MAGEA4-AS1 binding to p53 enhances MK2 signaling pathway and promotes the proliferation and metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate the occurrence, development and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We elucidated the expression features of MAGEA4-AS1 in patients with OSCC and its activity as an OSCC biomarker. Furthermore, the impact of up-regulation of MAGEA4-AS1 on the cellular behaviors (proliferation, migration and invasion) of OSCC cells and intrinsic signal mechanisms were evaluated. Firstly, we analyzed MAGEA4-AS1 expression data in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) OSCC using a bioinformatics approach and in 45 pairs of OSCC tissues using qPCR. Then CCK-8, ethynyl deoxyuridine, colony formation, transwell and wound healing assays were conducted to assess changes in the cell proliferation, migration and invasion protential of shMAGEA4-AS1 HSC3 and CAL27 cells
