The emerging roles of microRNAs (miRs) have been deeply investigated in cancer. However, the role of miR-194 in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is still unclear. Here, we have demonstrated that miR-194 is significantly downregulated in LSCC tissues and cells, and overexpression of miR-194 inhibits the proliferation, migration, invasion, and drug resistance in LSCC cells. Moreover, Wee1 is identified as a novel direct target of miR-194. Ectopic expression of Wee1 at least in part overcomes the suppressive impacts of miR-194 on the malignant phenotypes of LSCC. Overall, our study provides new sights into the role of miR-194/Wee1 axis in LSCC and suggests a novel miR-194/Wee1-based clinical application for LSCC patients.
