Long Noncoding RNA LINC00460 Promotes Cell Progression by Sponging miR-4443 in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs were proved to be associated with the development and progression in HNSCC. However, the mechanism of LINC00460 in HNSCC needs to be further investigated. The study used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay to detect the expression of LINC00460 in cancer tissues and cell lines. Gain and loss of function experiments were conducted to analyze the effects of LINC00460 and miR-4443 on cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of HNSCC cells in vitro. The interactions among miR-4443 and LINC00460 were detected by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Here, the study showed that LINC00460 was highly expressed in HNSCC tissues and cell lines. Functionally, knockdown of LINC00460 inhibited HNSCC cell proliferation and migration in vitro. Besides, LINC00460 promoted cell progression by sponging miR-4443, and miR-4443 inhibitor could reverse the effects of si-LINC00460 on cell proliferation and migration. In summary, LINC00460 could potentially promote cell progression and epithelial mesenchymal transition by sponging miR-4443 in HNSCC. LINC00460 could be used as a potential therapeutic target for HNSCCs.

Project description:This study demonstrated that miR‐335‐5p expression was reduced in HNSCC. miR‐335‐5p expression could inhibit HNSCC cell growth, metastasis, and promote cell apoptosis while it could suppress tumor growth in vivo. We identified MAP3K2 as a novel target of miR‐335‐5p and MAP3K2 overexpression partially rescued the inhibitory role of miR‐335‐5p. Hence, miR‐335‐5p might constitute a potential therapeutic target for HNSCC patients. Mounting evidence has indicated that aberrantly expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in tumorigenesis, including in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Previous studies have shown that miR‐335‐5p can serve as a tumor suppressor or an oncogene in cancer. However, the clinical importance and biological effects of miR‐335‐5p in HNSCC have not been determined. Here, we investigated the expression pattern, functional role, and mechanisms of miR‐335‐5p in HNSCC. We showed a decreased expression of miR‐335‐5p in HNSCC samples from the TCGA and GEO databases. Consistently, we detected a downregulation of miR‐335‐5p in HNSCC cell lines and patient tissues. The expression of miR‐335‐5p was inversely correlated with advanced clinical TNM stage and lymph node metastasis in HNSCC patients. miR‐335‐5p overexpression inhibited HNSCC cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, while miR‐335‐5p inhibition had the opposite effects. miR‐335‐5p overexpression suppressed tumor growth in mice. Bioinformatic analyses and functional assays identified MAP3K2 as a target of miR‐335‐5p, and we showed that miR‐335‐5p downregulated mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase kinase 2 (MAP3K2) expression in HNSCC cells. We found an inverse association between MAP3K2 and miR‐335‐5p expression in 38 pairs of HNSCC tissues. Furthermore, the effect of miR‐335‐5p overexpression on growth and metastasis as well as cell apoptosis in HNSCC cells could be partially rescued by MAP3K2 expression. Collectively, our data show that miR‐335‐5p inhibits the development of HNSCC by regulating MAP3K2 expression. Thus, these findings offer novel insights into a potential therapeutic strategy for HNSCC patients.
