Abstract:
Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is the most common type of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with high morbidity and mortality. Many studies have shown that microRNA (miRNA) are small non-coding RNA that regulate the post-transcriptional processing of target genes, resulting in the degradation and translation inhibition of target mRNA. However, how the transmembrane p24 trafficking protein 2 (TMED2) is regulated by miR-5583-5p on migration, invasion, proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of TSCC Cal-27 cells is unclear. In this study, a database was used to analyze the expression of TMED2 in HNSCC (P <0. 001) in head and neck cancer (HNC). Western blot showed that the expression of TMED2 protein was up-regulated in 6 cases of TSCC tissues and cell lines such as SCC-9, SCC-25 and CAL-27. After the Cal-27 cells transfected with TMED2 interference plasmid (SiTMED2) the expression of E-cadherin was up-regulated, and N-cadherin and Vimentin was down-regulated. Migration and invasion experiments showed that the number of cells transfused into the basement membrane of the cells was lower than that of the control group (P<0. 05). The results of EdU showed that the proliferation of Cal-27 cells transfected with SiTMED2 was decreased (P<0. 05). The results of dual luciferase experiment showed that TMED2 had a binding target to miR-5583-5p, and the expression of miR-5583-5p in Cal-27 cell was lower than that in Hoec cells. The expression of miR-5583-5p was increased and TMED2 protein was decreased after the Cal-27 cells were transfected with miR-5583-5p plasmid (P < 0. 05). In conclusion, TMED2 is regulated by miR-5583-5p and promoted the migration, invasion, proliferation and EMT of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell Cal-27.
