MiR-375/SLC7A11 axis regulates oral squamous cell carcinoma proliferation and invasion.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to detect the functions of miR-375/SLC7A11 axis on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell proliferation and invasion. Expression levels of miR-375 and SLC7A11 in OSCC tissues and cells were measured with RT-qPCR and western blot. Targeting site was predicted by TargetScan and confirmed by dual luciferase reporting assay. By way of manipulating the expression level of miR-375 and SLC7A11 in CAL-27 and Tca8113 cell lines, the cell biological abilities were evaluated. MTT, colony formation, Transwell, wound healing assays and flow cytometry were used to detect OSCC cell viability, proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis, respectively. MiR-375 was significantly downregulated in OSCC tissues and cells compared to adjacent tissue and normal oral cell line respectively while S
