Purpose: To test the influence of miR-376c-3p on the proliferation, invasion, migration, cell cycle and apoptosis of human oral squamous cancer cells (OSCC) and the relevant mechanism. Methods: We applied qRT-PCR and Western blot to compare the expression level of miR-376c-3p and HOXB7 in SCC-4, SCC-9, SCC-15, SCC-25 OSCC cell lines and 49 paired OSCC and normal oral epithelial tissue specimens were included in our present study. Also we analyzed the relative relationship of expression level between miR-376c-3p and HOXB7 in cancer tissues. Luciferase assay was used to confirm the target relationship between miR-376c-3p and HOXB7. Besides, MTT, Transwell, wound healing, colony formation and flow cytometer experiments were applied to evaluate the proliferation, cell viability, apoptosis, invasion and migration of transfected OSCC. Results: MiR-376c-3p was down-regulated while HOXB7 was up-regulated in OSCC tissues and cells than the normal ones. MiR-376c-3p directly targeted HOXB7 and reduced the expression of HOXB7. Overexpression of miR-376c-3 pattenuated proliferation of SCC-9, SCC-15, SCC-24 and SCC-25 cells. Moreover, miR-376c-3p suppressed proliferation, viability, migration and invasion and induced G1/G0 arrest and cell apoptosis of SCC-25 cells. Besides, overexpression of HOXB7 efficiently abrogates these influences caused by overexpression of miR-376c-3p. Conclusion: MiR-376c-3p suppresses the fission, proliferation, migration and invasion and induces cell apoptosis of OSCC via targeting HOXB7. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
