Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of LINC01355 on the proliferation,apoptosis,and invasion of oral squamous cell car-cinoma(OSCC)cells via the miR-545-5p/forkhead box D1(FOXD1)signaling pathway.Methods Cal-27 cells were cultured in vitro and randomly separated into the control group,si-LINC01355(transfected with LINC01355 siRNA)group,pc-LINC01355(transfected with LINC01355 overexpression plasmid)group,si-NC+miR-545-5p-NC+pc-NC(transfected with LINC01355 siRNA negative control,miR-545-5p negative control and empty plasmid)group,and si-LINC01355+miR-545-5p inhibitor(transfected with LINC01355 siRNA and miR-545-5p inhibitor)group.After transfection,quantitative real-time PCR was applied to detect the expression of LINC01355,miR-545-5p,and FOXD1 in cells.The Cal-27 cells transfected into groups were then subcutaneously inoculated to construct nude mouse models of transplanted tumors in each group,and the growth of the transplanted tumors was measured.The CCK-8 method,flow cytom-etry,and Transwell assay were applied in order to detect cell proliferation,apoptosis,and invasion,respectively.Immunohistochemical staining was applied to detect the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)related proteins Vimentin and E-cadherin in cells.Western blotting was applied to detect the expression of cell proliferation related proteins(proliferating cell nuclear antigen[PCNA],C-myc),apoptosis related proteins(cleaved cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteases-3[cleaved caspase-3],BCL-2-associated X protein[Bax]),and FOXD1 protein.A dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to identify the relationship between LINC01355 and the miR-545-5p/FOXD1 signaling pathway.Results Compared with the control group,the expression of LINC01355 and FOXD1 mRN A,proliferation activity,number of invasions,positive expression of Vimentin protein,expression of PCNA,C-myc and FOXD1 protein,and transplanted tumor volume reduced(All P＜0.05);the expression of miR-545-5p,apoptosis rate,cleaved caspase-3 and Bax protein expression,and positive expression of E-cadherin protein increased(All P＜0.05)in the si-LINC01355 group.The trend of changes in the various indica-tors of the pc-LINC01355 group was opposite to that of the si-LINC01355 group.Compared with the si-LINC01355 group,the expression of LINC01355 and FOXD1 mRNA,prolife ration activity,number of invasions,positive expression of Vimentin protein,expression of PCNA,C-myc and FOXD1 proteins,and the transplanted tumor volume in the si-LINC01355+miR-545-5p inhibitor group increased(All P＜0.05),whereas the expression of miR-545-5p,apoptosis rate,cleaved caspase-3 and Bax protein expression,and positive expression of E-cadherin protein decreased(All P＜0.05).LINC01355 was able to downregulate miR-545-5p expression in Cal-27 cells and miR-545-5p was able to downregulate FOXD1 expression.Conclusion LINC01355 promotes OSCC cell proliferation and invasion,and inhibits apoptosis by targeting the miR-545-5p/FOXD1 signaling pathway.
