Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of miR-216b-5p on the proliferation, migration,invasion and apoptosis of laryngeal squamous cell cancer(LSCC) TU686 cells,and to analyze the target genes in laryngeal cancer cells and its possible mechanism. Methods The TU686 cells were divided into control group and miR-216b-5p group;the cells in control group were infected with the nonsense sequence through lentivirus,and the cells in miR-216b-5p group were infected with overexpressed miR-216b-5p by lentivirus.The expression levels of miR-216b-5p in the cells in two groups were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) method, the clone formation rates of the cells in two groups were detected by clone formation assay,the scratch healing rates of cells in two groups were detected by cell scratch assay,the number of invasion cells in two groups was detected by Transwell assay,and the apoptotic rates of cells in two groups were detected by flow cytometry. The TargetScan website was used to predict the potential target genes of miR-216b-5p. The expression levels of target gene mRNA were detected by RT-qPCR method.The targeting relationship between miR-216b-5p and the target gene was detected by dual-luciferase assay. Results After lentivirus infection, compared with control group, the expression level of miR-216b-5p in the cells in miR-216b-5p group was significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with control group,the clone formation rate and the scratch healing rate of the cells in miR-216b-5p group were significantly decreased(P<0.01),the number of invasion cells was significantly decreased(P<0.01), and the apoptotic rate was significantly increased(P<0.01). Targetscan website predicted that autophagy related gene 5 (ATG5) was the potential target gene of miR-216b-5p;compared with control group,the expression level of ATG5 mRNA in the cells in miR-216b-5p group was significantly decreased(P<0.01).The dual-luciferase assay proved that there was a targeting correlation between ATG5 and miR-216b-5p. Conclusion MiR-216b-5p can inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion and induce apoptosis of laryngeal cancer cells to exert a tumor suppressor effect, and its mechanism may be related to the targeted regulation of the expression level of ATG5.
