MAGI2-AS3 hypermethylated in promoter region promotes migration and invasion of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma via miRNA-31-5p/AR axis.

ABSTRACT: Molecular regulatory mechanism of MAGI2-AS3 in HNSCC is not yet mature.In this study, we analyzed the methylation level of MAGI2-AS3 promoter and its downstream miR-31-5p/AR axis by bioinformatics methods. qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of each gene, and western blot was used to detect the expression level of AR proteins in tissues and cells. CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, and cellular invasion assays were used to detect the HNSCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Dual luciferase and RIP assays were performed to validate the binding relationship between genes. The effect of MAGI2-AS3 on HNSCC progression was verified in nude mice in vivo. The low expression of MAGI2-AS3 in HNSCC was caused by hypermethylation of MAGI2-AS3, which could regulate the
