Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the most frequent head and neck cancer, has a high potential for metastasis. MiR-126 plays an important role in the tumorigenesis of many tumors; however, there were little studies in OSCC. The purpose of our study was to explore how miR-126 and ADAM9 worked on migration and invasion in OSCC.
The quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied to detect the mRNA level of miR-126 and ADAM9. The transwell assay was utilized to calculate the migratory and invasive capacities in the OSCC cells. The luciferase report assay was utilized to verify that ADAM9 was a direct target of miR-126.
MicroR-126 was downregulated in OSCC tissues and cell lines SCC25 and HSC3. ADAM9 was predicted to be a direct target of miR-126 and was upregulated in the OSCC cells. In addition, miR-126 suppressed the migratory and invasive ability via mediating the expression of ADAM9 by directly targeting its mRNA 3'-noncoding region (UTR), whose partial functions was reversed by ADAM9.
MiR-126 inhibited the migratory and invasive capacities of OSCC by directly targeting the 3'-UTR of ADAM9 mRNA. It is suggested that miR-126/ADAM9 axis may play an essential role in inhibiting the abilities of migration and invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells.
口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)是最常见的头颈部癌症,具有很高的转移潜力。miR-126 在许多肿瘤的发生发展中起着重要作用,但在 OSCC 中研究甚少。本研究旨在探讨 miR-126 和 ADAM9 如何影响 OSCC 的迁移和侵袭。
采用实时定量聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)检测 miR-126 和 ADAM9 的 mRNA 水平。Transwell 实验检测 OSCC 细胞的迁移和侵袭能力。荧光素酶报告实验验证 ADAM9 是 miR-126 的直接靶基因。
miR-126 在 OSCC 组织和 SCC25、HSC3 细胞系中下调。ADAM9 被预测为 miR-126 的直接靶基因,在 OSCC 细胞中上调。此外,miR-126 通过直接靶向其 mRNA 3'-非编码区(UTR)来抑制 ADAM9 的表达,从而抑制 OSCC 细胞的迁移和侵袭能力,其部分功能可被 ADAM9 逆转。
miR-126 通过直接靶向 ADAM9 mRNA 的 3'-UTR 抑制 OSCC 的迁移和侵袭能力。提示 miR-126/ADAM9 轴可能在抑制口腔鳞状细胞癌细胞迁移和侵袭能力中发挥重要作用。
