The study aimed at investigating the effects of miR-30a-5p on the biological functions of oral cancer cells and figuring out the potential mechanism. We first verified the low expression of miR-30a-5p and high expression of FAP (Homo sapiens fibroblast activation protein α) in oral cancerous tissues and their negative correlation. Then, the target relationship between miR-30a-5p and FAP was validated by dual luciferase reporter assay and biotin-coupled miRNA pulldown assay. After transfection in Tca-8113 cells and SCC-15 cells, MTT, colony formation, Transwell, and wound healing assays were performed to investigate how miR-30a-5p and FAP adjusted propagation, invasiveness, and migration, respectively. Mounting evidence supported that miR-30a-5p directly targetted FAP and suppressed its expression in oral cavity cancer cells (OSCCs). By suppressing FAP expression, miR-30a-5p significantly inhibited cell propagation, migration, and invasion. Therefore, miR-30a-5p might be a new therapeutic target for oral cancer treatment.

Objective To study the relationship between the circular RNA vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein A (circVAPA) and the pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Methods The expression of circVAPA was detected by RT-qPCR. In vitro loss-of-function experiments were performed in Cal-27 cells. The malignant phenotype of cells was evaluated by cell counting kit-8, clone formation and transwell assays. Luciferase reporter assays were used to assess the circVAPA/miR-132/homeobox A (HOXA) regulatory axis. Results circVAPA expression was significantly increased in oral cancer tissues and cells. The overall survival and progression-free survival of patients with oral cancer who exhibited high circVAPA expression were significantly shorter compared with those with low expression. circVAPA expression was closely related to tumor size, TNM stage and distant metastasis. circVAPA knockdown reduced the proliferation, invasion and migration of Cal-27 cells. MiR-132 was identified as a target of circVAPA in Cal-27 cells. Cotransfection with si-circVAPA and miR-132 inhibitor reversed the inhibitory effect of circVAPA knockdown on cell malignant phenotypes. HOXA7 was further identified as a downstream target of miR-132. Conclusion circVAPA is highly expressed in oral cancer, and its abnormal expression might affect the proliferation, invasion and migration of oral cancer cells by modulating the miR-132/HOXA7 signaling axis.

Gypenosides (Gyp), found in Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino, has been used as a folk medicine in the Chinese population for centuries and is known to have diverse pharmacologic effects, including anti-proliferative and anti-cancer actions. However, the effects of Gyp on prevention from invasion and migration of oral cancer cells are still unsatisfactory. The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of Gyp treatment on migration and invasion of SAS human oral cancer cells. SAS cells were cultured in the presence of 90 and 180 μg/mL Gyp for 24 and 48 hours. Gyp induced cytotoxic effects and inhibited SAS cells migration and invasion in dose- and time-dependent response. Wound-healing assay and boyden chamber assay were carried out to investigate Gyp-inhibited migration and invasion of SAS cells. Gyp decreased the abundance of several proteins, including nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/ 2), matrix metalloproteinase-9, -2 (MMP-9, -2), sevenless homolog (SOS), Ras, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (Akt), in a time-dependent manner. In addition, Gyp decreased mRNA levels of MMP-2, MMP-7, MMP-9 but did not affect FAK and Rho A mRNA levels in SAS cells. These results provide evidences for the role of Gyp as a potent anti-metastatic agent, which can markedly inhibit the metastatic and invasive capacity of oral cancer cells. The inhibition of NF-κB and MMP-2, -7 and -9 signaling may be one of the mechanisms that is present in Gyp-inhibited cancer cell invasion and migration.

Abstract Purpose Oral cancer has the characteristics of rapid progression, wide invasion and poor prognosis, which induces higher mortality in the patients. At present, there are about 300 thousand new cases of oral cell carcinoma worldwide. Particularly, the incidence rate of oral cancer in China is relatively high. Therefore, it urgently needs to understand the pathogenesis of oral cancer and molecular mechanisms underlying. Abnormal regulation of miR-219-5p is present in various types of cancer. However, the relationship between miR-219-5p and its targets in oral cancer has not been well evaluated. Methods Western blotting and Quantitative RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of SOX5 in oral cancer tissues.Migration ,cell proliferation,and invasion were detected using CCK8 assay,Conlony formation assay and Transwell assays .The interaction between SOX5 and miR-219-5p and oral cancer was confirmed using dual-luciferase reporter assays.Result This study aims to investigate the possible roles of miR-219-5p and its potential target gene, SOX5, in the progress of oral cancer. Our data showed that the high miR-219-5p and low SOX5 expression levels were associated with improved survival rates in patients. miR-219-5p level was negatively correlated with the expression of SOX5. Genetic analysis and luciferase assay revealed that the miR-291-5p regulated SOX5 expression by targeting the 3'-UTR region of SOX5 mRNA. Functionally, we confirmed that miR-219-5p mimics inhibited SOX5 expression and suppressed the proliferation, colony formation ability, invasion and migration of oral cancer cells, SCC4 and SCC9. In contrast, inhibition of miR-219-5p increased SOX5 levels and promoted the vitality and mobility of oral cancer cells. Furthermore, special siRNA targeting SOX5 partially neutralized the effects of miR-219-5p inhibitor. Conclusions This study demonstrates that miR-219-5p may inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of oral cancer by targeting the expression of SOX5, which provided novel candidates for clinic prognosis and/or therapy.

Abstract Background X inactivation-specific transcript (XIST) is the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) related to cancer, which is involved in the development and progression of various types of tumor. However, up to now, the exact role and molecular mechanism of XIST in the progression of ovarian cancer are not clear. We studied the function of XIST in ovarian cancer cells and clinical tumor specimens. Methods RT-qPCR was performed to detect the expression levels of miR-335 and BCL2L2 in ovarian cancer cells and tissues. MTT and transwell assays were carried out to detect cell proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities. Western blot was performed to analyze the expression level of BCL2L2. The interaction between miR-335 and XIST/BCL2L2 was confirmed using a luciferase reporter assay. Results The inhibition of XIST can inhibit the proliferation invasion and migration of human ovarian cancer cells. In addition, the miR-335/BCL2L2 axis was involved in the functions of XIST in ovarian cancer cells. These results suggested that XIST could regulate tumor proliferation and invasion and migration via modulating miR-335/BCL2L2. Conclusion XIST might be a carcinogenic lncRNA in ovarian cancer by regulating miR-335, and it can serve as a therapeutic target in human ovarian cancer.

Oral cancer (OC) has been attracted research attention in recent years as result of its high morbidity and mortality. Costunolide (CTD) possesses potential anticancer and bioactive abilities that have been confirmed in several types of cancers. However, its effects on oral cancer remain unclear. This study investigated the potential anticancer ability and underlying mechanisms of CTD in OC in vivo and in vitro. Cell viability and anchorage-independent colony formation assays were performed to examine the antigrowth effects of CTD on OC cells; assessments for migration and invasion of OC cells were conducted by transwell; Cell cycle and apoptosis were investigated by flow cytometry and verified by immunoblotting. The results revealed that CTD suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of oral cancer cells effectively and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis; regarding the mechanism, CTD bound to AKT directly by binding assay and repressed AKT activities through kinase assay, which thereby downregulating the downstream of AKT. Furthermore, CTD remarkably promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species by flow cytometry assay, leading to cell apoptosis. Notably, CTD strongly suppresses cell-derived xenograft OC tumor growth in an in vivo mouse model. In conclusion, our results suggested that costunolide might prevent progression of OC and promise to be a novel AKT inhibitor.

Background: Numerous researches have demonstrated that miR-142-5p plays significant roles in several cancers, although the functional characteristic of miR-142-5p in breast cancer has not been determined. This study is designed to explore the biological significance of miR-142-5p in breast cancer clinical implication and mechanism of action. Methods: The differential expression patterns of miR-142-5p and Sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 1 and correlations between them and clinical significances were analyzed based on data from database. The expression levels of miR-142-5p in breast cancer cells were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell counting kit-8, transwell, and wound healing assays were used to explore the potential functions of miR-142-5p in breast cancer cells. In addition, bioinformatics prediction analysis and luciferase reporter assay were utilized to predict and identify the potential target gene of miR-142-5p. A rescue experiment was conducted by transfecting miR-142-5p inhibitors and si-Sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 1 into cells to explore miR-142-5p/Sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 1 pairs on breast cancer cells behaviors. Results: The analysis results showed that miR-142-5p was highly expressed in patients with breast cancer, while Sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 1 presented a trend of low expression. The clinical significances analysis suggested that the overexpression of miR-142-5p is closely correlated with metastasis, while low expression of Sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 1 is correlated with clinicopathological characteristics and poor overall survival in patients with breast cancer. In vitro exploration, the expression of miR-142-5p was upregulated in breast cancer cells and inhibition of miR-142-5p expression significantly reduced the proliferation, invasion, and migration of breast cancer cells. Through rescue experiments, breast cancer cells proliferation, invasion, and migration reduction induced by silencing of miR-142-5p were reversed via knockdown Sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 1. Conclusion: Our findings insinuate that miR-142-5p functions as a positive regulator of promoting breast cancer cells biological behaviors and clinical metastasis, possibly regulated by targeting Sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 1, thus providing valuable information in the development of preventive or even therapeutic strategies for utilizing miR-142-5p as a promising target.

Abstract The purpose of the present study is to figure out the role of miRNA-148a (miR-148a) in growth, apoptosis, invasion, and migration of cervical cancer cells by binding to regulator of ribosome synthesis 1 (RRS1). Cervical cancer and adjacent normal tissues, as well as cervical cancer cell line Caski, HeLa, C-33A, and normal cervical epithelial cell line H8 were obtained to detect the expression of miR-148a and RRS1. Relationship between miR-148a and RRS1 expression with clinicopathological characteristics was assessed. The selected Caski and HeLa cells were then transfected with miR-148a mimics, miR-148a inhibitors or RRS1 siRNA to investigate the role of miR-148a and RRS1 on proliferation, apoptosis, colony formation, invasion, and migration abilities of cervical cancer cells. Bioinformatics information and dual luciferase reporter gene assay was for used to detect the targetting relationship between miR-148a and RRS1. Down-regulated miR-148a and up-regulated RRS1 were found in cervical cancer tissues and cells. Down-regulated miR-148a and up-regulated RRS1 are closely related with prognostic factors of cervical cancer. RRS1 was determined as a target gene of miR-148a and miR-148a inhibited RRS1 expression in cervical cancer cells. Up-regulation of miR-148a inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while promoting apoptosis in Caski and HeLa cells. Our study suggests that miR-148a down-regulates RRS1 expression, thereby inhibiting the proliferation, migration, and invasion while promoting cell apoptosis of cervical cancer cells.
