ABSTRACT
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Downexpression of miR-140-5p was reported in some human cancers, and combined with a reduction of cell migration and invasion, suggesting that miR-140-5p functions as a tumor suppressor. However, little is known about the expression and function of miR-140-5p in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC). In this research, we found that miR-140-5p was significantly downregulated in HSCC tissues and correlated to tumor classification and lymph node metastasis. Restoration of miR-140-5p suppressed the migration and invasion of FaDu cells, and decreased the protein expression levels of ADAM10. Furthermore, the luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-140-5p was directly bound to ADAM10 mRNA and knockdown of ADAM10 could inhibit FaDu cell migration and invasion and reduced the protein expression levels of and Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD1). Of note, knockdown of Notch1 could inhibit the migration and invasion of FaDu cells and rescued the effect of miR-140-5p inhibitor in FaDu cells. Taken together, our study demonstrates that miR-140-5p suppresses tumor migration and invasion by inhibiting ADAM10-mediated Notch1 signaling pathway and suggests that miR-140-5p could have potential therapeutic applications in HSCC.
