Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a prevalent and lethal malignancy, accounting for 95% of head and neck cancers. Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activating protein ZETA (14-3-3ζ) is central to various signalling pathways and is pivotal in tumour progression.
Cancerous and corresponding non-cancerous tissue samples were collected from five patients diagnosed with HNSCC. circRNA and mRNA expression profiles were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing techniques. Potential circRNA-microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA interactions were predicted using bioinformatics tools.
The study found that CircRNA_036186 regulates the expression of 14-3-3ζ in HNSCC through miR-193b-5p.
These findings suggest that CircRNA_036186 has the potential to be a biomarker and therapeutic target for HNSCC and provide some theoretical basis for further research on the role of circRNA in HNSCC.
头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)是一种常见且致命的恶性肿瘤,占头颈部癌症的95%。酪氨酸3 - 单加氧酶/色氨酸5 - 单加氧酶激活蛋白ZETA(14 - 3 - 3ζ)在各种信号通路中起核心作用,对肿瘤进展至关重要。
从五名被诊断为HNSCC的患者中收集癌组织及相应的非癌组织样本。使用高通量测序技术分析环状RNA(circRNA)和信使核糖核酸(mRNA)表达谱。利用生物信息学工具预测潜在的circRNA - 微小核糖核酸(miRNA)- mRNA相互作用。
研究发现CircRNA_036186通过miR - 193b - 5p调节HNSCC中14 - 3 - 3ζ的表达。
这些发现表明CircRNA_036186有潜力成为HNSCC的生物标志物和治疗靶点,并为进一步研究circRNA在HNSCC中的作用提供了一些理论依据。
