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 and autophagy in OSCC. In addition, this study provides a theoretical support for regulating the mechanism of OSCC by inducing autophagy with miR-10b-Bim as a target.
自噬与多种细胞机制相关,自噬失调涉及癌症的病理过程。miR-10b激活自噬,促进口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)的侵袭和迁移。其在OSCC自噬机制中的功能作用尚不清楚。miR-10b过表达后,OSCC的侵袭和迁移增强,自噬蛋白如LC3II/ATG5被激活。根据生物信息学分析和双荧光素酶报告基因检测,miR-10b直接吸引Bim。功能实验进一步表明,miR-10b可促进体外侵袭和迁移。此外,miR-10b在OSCC的侵袭和迁移中通过抑制Bim诱导自噬。值得注意的是,动物实验证实miR-10b-Bim促进OSCC的增殖和自噬。此外,本研究为以miR-10b-Bim为靶点诱导自噬来调节OSCC机制提供了理论支持。
