RESUMEN
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to play a regulatory role in various cancers including laryngocarcinoma. MiR-29a-3p is a potential tumor-suppressive miRNA, but its function in laryngocarcinoma is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the roles of miR-29a-3p in laryngocarcinoma. Prominin1 (PROM1) was predicted as a target gene of miR-29a-3p and this was verified using a luciferase reporter assay. Transfection of miR-29a-3p into two laryngocarcinoma cell lines indicated that miR-29a-3p could decrease cell proliferation and enhance the chemotherapy response by targeting PROM1. PROM1 expression was up-regulated in the laryngocarcinoma cells when miR-29a-3p was down-regulated. We found miR-29a-3p expression levels were lower in laryngocarcinoma tissues than in control tissues. We also found that miR-29a-3p expression was negatively correlated with PROM1 expression in laryngocarcinoma tissues. The study demonstrates that miR-29a-3p suppresses cell proliferation in laryngocarcinoma by targeting PROM1.
RESUMEN
CONCLUSION: A prognostic model was obtained for LC. Several critical genes were unveiled. They could be potentially applied for LC recurrence prediction. OBJECTIVE: Gene expression data of laryngeal cancer (LC) were analyzed to identify critical genes associated with recurrence. METHODS: Two gene expression datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Dataset GSE27020 is used as the training set, containing 75 non-recurred LC cases and 34 recurred LC cases. RESULTS: A total of 725 DEGs were identified from the training set. A total of 4126 gene pairs showed significant correlations in non-recurred LC only, corresponding to 533 genes. A total of 7235 gene pairs showed significant correlations in recurred LC only, corresponding to 608 genes. Besides, 1694 gene pairs showed significant correlations in both non-recurred and recurred LC, corresponding to 322 genes. Functional enrichment analysis was performed for the three groups of DEGs. Seven overlapping biological functions were revealed: positive regulation of chondrocyte differentiation, autoimmune thyroid disease, focal adhesion, linoleic acid metabolism, drug metabolism, organic cation transport, and ECM-receptor interaction. Eight feature genes (PDIA3, MYH11, PDK1, SDC3, RPE65, LAMC3, BTK, and UPK1B) were identified. Their prognostic effect was validated by independent test set as well as survival analysis.

Chemokine and its receptors play important roles in laryngeal cancer development and progression. CCR6 is the receptor of CCL20 chemokine, but its function in laryngeal cancer is not known. The aim of this study is to explore the roles of CCR6 and its regulation mechanism in laryngeal cancer. We found CCR6 expression was higher in laryngeal cancer tissues compared with their normal controls, so did in laryngeal cancer cells. Cellular function indicated that down-regulation of CCR6 in laryngeal cancer cells could suppress cell proliferation and metastasis. Further research showed that CCR6 could activate p38, which was related with the changes of microRNA (miRNA) profile in laryngeal cancer cells. We also found that CCR6 was positively associated with miR-20a-5p, miR-489 and negatively related to miR-29-3p, miR-632 and miR-1276 in laryngeal cancer tissues.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in gene regulation during laryngocarcinoma. MiR-9 is a potential oncomiR, but its function in laryngocarcinoma is not known. The aim of this study is to investigate the roles of miR-9 in laryngocarcinoma. We found miR-9 expression was higher in laryngocarcinoma tissues compared with their normal controls, so did the laryngocarcinoma cells. Cellular function of miR-9 indicated that miR-9 restoration in laryngocarcinoma cells could promote cell proliferation and metastasis. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) was predicted as a target gene of miR-9 and verified using luciferase reporter assay. PTEN expression was down-regulated in the laryngocarcinoma cells with miR-9 overexpression. We also found that miR-9 expression was negatively associated with PTEN expression in laryngocarcinoma tissues.
