Identification of Tumor-Suppressive miR-30e-3p Targets: Involvement of SERPINE1 in the Molecular Pathogenesis of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Recently, our studies revealed that some passenger strands of microRNAs (miRNAs) were closely involved in cancer pathogenesis. Analysis of miRNA expression signatures showed that the expression of miR-30e-3p (the passenger strand of pre-miR-30e) was significantly downregulated in cancer tissues. In this study, we focused on miR-30e-3p (the passenger strand of pre-miR-30e). We addressed target genes controlled by miR-30e-3p that were closely associated with the molecular pathogenesis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Ectopic expression assays demonstrated that the expression of miR-30e-3p attenuated cancer cell malignant phenotypes (e.g., cell proliferation, migration, and invasive abilities). Our analysis of miR-30e-3p targets revealed that 11 genes (ADA, CPNE8, C14orf126,
