The microRNA-10b-Bim axis promotes cancer progression through activating autophagy in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Autophagy is related to many cellular mechanisms and dysregulation of autophagy involves the pathological process in cancer. miR-10b activates autophagy, which promotes invasion and migration of OSCC. Its functional role in the mechanism of OSCC to autophagy remains to be unclear. Overexpression of miR-10b was followed by enhanced OSCC invasion and migration and activated autophagic protein, such as LC3II/ATG5. MiR-10b attracted Bim directly according to the Bio-informatics analyses and double luciferases reporter assays. Functional experiments further revealed that miR-10b could promote invasion and migration in vitro. In addition, miR-10b induced autophagy via inhibiting Bim in invasion and migration of OSCC. Notably, animal experiments confirmed that miR-10b-Bim promoted proliferation a
