Silenced Myeloblastosis Protein Suppresses Oral Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma via the microRNA-130a/Cylindromatosis Axis

2020 
Background Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) represents oral epithelial cell damage. Myeloblastosis (MYB) is involved in OTSCC. This study tried to probe roles of MYB in OSCC with potential axis. Methods Expression of MYB and miR-130a in OTSCC was detected. Western blot analysis was utilized to determine epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related protein levels. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay certified the target relation between miR-130a and CYLD. Moreover, xenograft tumors in nude mice were applied to confirm the in vitro experiments. Results Both MYB and miR-130a were highly expressed in OTSCC, which promoted cell growth. Meanwhile, silenced miR-130a discouraged cell development enhanced by overexpressed MYB. CYLD was poorly expressed in OTSCC and targeted by miR-130a. Additionally, MYB knockdown activated CYLD to suppress OTSCC by downregulating miR-130a. Conclusion Our experiment supported that silenced MYB suppressed OTSCC malignancy by inhibiting miR-130a and activating CYLD. This investigation may provide novel insights for OTSCC treatment.
