Reciprocal regulation of miR-1205 and E2F1 modulates progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma
2019
The burgeoning functions of many microRNAs (miRs) have been well study in cancer. However, the level and function of miR-1205 in laryngeal squamous cell cancer remains unknown. In the current research, we validated that miR-1205 was notably downregulated in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) samples in comparison with tissues adjacent to LSCC, and correlated with T stage, lymph node metastasis, and clinical stage. Using Kaplan–Meier analysis indicates that high expression of miR-1205 has a favorable prognosis for patients with LSCC. Functional assays show that enforced miR-1205 expression attenuates the migration, growth, and invasion of LSCC cells. And E2F1 is verified to be a target of miR-1205, while E2F1 binds to miR-1205 promoter and transcriptionally inhibits miR-1205 expression. Overexpression of E2F1 reverses the inhibitory impacts of miR-1205 on LSCC cells in part. Importantly, E2F1 is abnormally increased in LSCC tissues, and its protein levels were inversely relevant to miR-1205 expression. High E2F1 protein level is in connection with clinical stage, T stage, lymph node metastasis, and poor prognosis. Consequently, reciprocal regulation of miR-1205 and E2F1 plays a crucial role in the progression of LSCC, suggesting a new miR-1205/E2F1-based clinical application for patients of LSCC.
