PG - 101574 LID - S0890-8508(20)30151-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.mcp.2020.101574 [doi] AB - MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a type of post-transcriptional regulators, exert a crucial role in the malignant progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). MicroRNA-330-3p (miR-330-3p), a recently identified tumor-associated miRNA, is implicated in multiple cancers. Yet, the relevance of miR-330-3p in LSCC remains unexplored. The findings of our study demonstrated a lower expression of miR-330-3p in LSCC. Functional assays revealed that upregulation of miR-330-3p marked restricted the proliferation, colony formation and invasion of LSCC cells. Transformer-2 protein homolog beta (Tra2beta) was identified as a target gene of miR-330-3p. An inverse correlation between miR-330-3p and Tra2beta mRNA expression was evidenced in LSCC specimens. The upregulation of miR-330-3p significantly repressed Tra2beta expression and the phosphorylation of the Akt protein. In addition, Tra2beta overexpression markedly abrogated the tumor suppressive role of miR-330-3p in LSCC cells. Overall, our results uncovered that miR-330-3p exerted a tumor-inhibition function in LSCC through targeting Tra2beta to inhibit Akt activation. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
