PG - 2697-702 LID - 9244 [pii] AB - OBJECTIVE: Accumulating evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are aberrantly expressd in many malignancies and crucial to tumorigenesis. Herein, we identified the role and mechanism of miR-206 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) growth. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to detect the relative expression level of miR-206 in LSCC tissues. Crystal violet and flow cytometry were conducted to explore the effects of miR-206 on the proliferation and cell cycle of human LSCC cell line, respectively. The impact of miR-206 overexpression on putative target cyclinD2 were subsequently verified via Western blot. Tumor growth assay was performed to testify the effect of miR-206 on the tumor growth in vivo. RESULTS: MiR-206 expression was frequently (p < 0.05) down-regulated in LSCC specimens. Overexpression of miR-206 in Hep-2 cell inhibited the proliferation by blocking the G1/S transition as well as suppressed the growth of xenograft tumors in mice, implying that miR-206 functions as a tumour suppressor in the progression of LSCC. Overexpression of miR-206 significantly decreased (p < 0.05) the protein level of cyclinD2, which has previously been identified as a direct targets of miR-206. CONCLUSIONS: Altogether, our results identify a crucial tumour suppressive role of miR-206 in LSCC growth, at least partly via up-regulation of cyclinD2 protein levels, and suggest that miR-206 might be a candidate prognostic predictor or an anticancer therapeutic target for LSCC patients.
