Abstract:Objective: To study the expression of miR-655-3p in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tissues and cell lines and its effects on the biological functions of HNSCC cell lines. Methods: The expression levels of miR-655-3p in HNSCC tissues and cell lines (FaDu, SCC-9, TU686, TU212) were measured by qRT-PCR, and the effects of miR-655-3p on cellular proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated by a series of assays. The possible target gene of miR-655-3p was further screened and its mechanism was explored. Results: The expression level of miR-655-3p in HNSCC was lower than that in control group, P<0.05. And the over-expression of miR-655-3p in HNSCC cell lines significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of cell lines. Further mechanism studies showed that ZEB1, as the target gene of miR-655-3p, was negatively regulated by miR-655-3p. Even, miR-655-3p inhibited the epithelial mesenchymal transformation of HNSCC cell lines by targeting ZEB1 expression directly. Conclusion: MiR-655-3p is down-regulated in HNSCC cancer tissues and cell lines, which could target the expression of ZEB1 directly and inhibit the progression of malignant phenotype of cell lines.
