Distant metastasis frequently occurs in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and contributes to the adverse prognosis for patients with OSCC. However, the potential mechanisms behind the metastasis have not yet been clarified. This study investigated the role of miR-378 in the migration and invasiveness of OSCC in vitro and in vivo. According to our results, the migration and invasiveness of OSCC cells were increased in cells overexpressing miR-378, and reduced in cells where miR-378-3p/5p was silenced. In addition, overexpression of miR-378 suppressed the expressions and activities of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and MMP-2. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was restrained by overexpression of miR-378, as evidenced by an increase in E-cadherin expression and decrease in N-cadherin and uPA expression. However, knockdown of miR-378-3p/5p produced the opposite results. Moreover, kallikrein-related peptidase 4 (KLK4) was confirmed to be a target gene of miR-378. Overexpression of KLK4 reversed the induced decrease in migration and invasiveness of cells overexpressing miR-378 by upregulating the levels of MMP-9, MMP-2, and N-cadherin, and downregulating the level of E-cadhrin. Finally, the number of metastasis nodules in the lung tissues of nude mice was reduced by overexpression of miR-378, whereas the number of metastases increased with knockdown of miR-378. Taken together, our results suggest that the miR-378-KLK4 axis is involved in the mechanisms behind the migration and invasiveness of OSCC cells. Targeting the miR-378-KLK4 axis may be an effective measure for treating OSCC.

MicroRNA-378-3p / 5p通过抑制KLK4表达来抑制口腔鳞状细胞癌细胞的迁移和侵袭性。

远处转移经常发生在口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)中,并导致OSCC患者的不良预后。但是,转移的潜在机制尚未阐明。这项研究调查了miR-378在OSCC体内外迁移和侵袭中的作用。根据我们的结果,在过度表达miR-378的细胞中OSCC细胞的迁移和侵袭性增加,而在miR-378-3p / 5p沉默的细胞中OSCC细胞的迁移和侵袭性降低。此外,miR-378的过表达抑制了基质金属蛋白酶9(MMP-9)和MMP-2的表达和活性。上皮-间充质转化(EMT)被miR-378的过表达抑制,E-钙粘蛋白表达增加而N-钙粘蛋白和uPA表达减少证明了这一点。然而,敲低miR-378-3p / 5p产生相反的结果。此外,激肽释放酶相关的肽酶4(KLK4)被证实是miR-378的靶基因。KLK4的过表达通过上调MMP-9,MMP-2和N-钙粘蛋白的水平,并下调E-钙蛋白的水平来逆转诱导的过度表达miR-378的细胞迁移和侵袭性的下降。最后,miR-378的过表达减少了裸鼠肺组织中转移结节的数量,而敲低miR-378则增加了转移的数量。两者合计,我们的结果表明,miR-378-KLK4轴参与了OSCC细胞迁移和侵袭性的背后机制。靶向miR-378-KLK4轴可能是治疗OSCC的有效措施。激肽释放酶相关的肽酶4(KLK4)被证实是miR-378的靶基因。KLK4的过表达通过上调MMP-9,MMP-2和N-钙粘蛋白的水平,并下调E-钙蛋白的水平来逆转诱导的过度表达miR-378的细胞迁移和侵袭性的下降。最后,miR-378的过表达减少了裸鼠肺组织中转移结节的数量,而敲低miR-378则增加了转移的数量。两者合计,我们的结果表明,miR-378-KLK4轴参与了OSCC细胞迁移和侵袭性的背后机制。靶向miR-378-KLK4轴可能是治疗OSCC的有效措施。激肽释放酶相关的肽酶4(KLK4)被证实是miR-378的靶基因。KLK4的过表达通过上调MMP-9,MMP-2和N-钙粘蛋白的水平,并下调E-钙蛋白的水平来逆转诱导的过度表达miR-378的细胞迁移和侵袭性的下降。最后,miR-378的过表达减少了裸鼠肺组织中转移结节的数量,而敲低miR-378则增加了转移的数量。两者合计,我们的结果表明,miR-378-KLK4轴参与了OSCC细胞迁移和侵袭性的背后机制。靶向miR-378-KLK4轴可能是治疗OSCC的有效措施。KLK4的过表达通过上调MMP-9,MMP-2和N-钙粘蛋白的水平,并下调E-钙蛋白的水平来逆转诱导的过度表达miR-378的细胞迁移和侵袭性的下降。最后,miR-378的过表达减少了裸鼠肺组织中转移结节的数量,而敲低miR-378则增加了转移的数量。两者合计,我们的结果表明,miR-378-KLK4轴参与了OSCC细胞迁移和侵袭性的背后机制。靶向miR-378-KLK4轴可能是治疗OSCC的有效措施。KLK4的过表达通过上调MMP-9,MMP-2和N-钙粘蛋白的水平,并下调E-钙蛋白的水平来逆转诱导的过度表达miR-378的细胞迁移和侵袭性的下降。最后,miR-378的过表达减少了裸鼠肺组织中转移结节的数量,而敲低miR-378则增加了转移的数量。两者合计,我们的结果表明,miR-378-KLK4轴参与了OSCC细胞迁移和侵袭性的背后机制。靶向miR-378-KLK4轴可能是治疗OSCC的有效措施。miR-378的过表达减少了裸鼠肺组织中转移结节的数量,而敲低miR-378则增加了转移的数量。两者合计,我们的结果表明,miR-378-KLK4轴参与了OSCC细胞迁移和侵袭性的背后机制。靶向miR-378-KLK4轴可能是治疗OSCC的有效措施。miR-378的过表达减少了裸鼠肺组织中转移结节的数量,而敲低miR-378则增加了转移的数量。两者合计,我们的结果表明,miR-378-KLK4轴参与了OSCC细胞迁移和侵袭性的背后机制。靶向miR-378-KLK4轴可能是治疗OSCC的有效措施。
