PG - 216735 LID - S0304-3835(24)00128-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.canlet.2024.216735 [doi] AB - As the second most prevalent malignant tumor of head and neck, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) imposes a substantial health burden on patients worldwide. Within recent years, resistance to oxidative stress and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) of RNA have been proved to be significantly involved in tumorigenesis. In current study, we investigated the oncogenic role of m6A modified long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs), specifically HOXA10-AS, and its downstream signaling pathway in the regulation of oxidative resistance in LSCC. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that heightened expression of HOXA10-AS was associated with the poor prognosis in LSCC patients, and N (6)-Methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) was identified as a factor in promoting m6A modification of HOXA10-AS and further intensify its RNA stability. Mechanistically, HOXA10-AS was found to play as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by sequestering miR-29 b-3p and preventing its downregulation of Integrin subunit alpha 6 (ITGA6), ultimately enhancing the oxidative resistance of tumor cells and promoting the malignant progression of LSCC. Furthermore, our research elucidated the mechanism by which ITGA6 accelerates Keap1 proteasomal degradation via enhancing TRIM25 expression, leading to increased Nrf2 stability and exacerbating its aberrant activation. Additionally, we demonstrated that ITGA6 enhances gamma-secretase-mediated Notch signaling activation, ultimately promoting RBPJ-induced TRIM25 transcription. The current study provides the evidence supporting the effect of m6A modified HOXA10-AS and its downstream miR-29 b-3p/ITGA6 axis on regulating oxidative resistance and malignant progression in LSCC through the Notch and Keap1/Nrf2 pathways, and proposed that targeting this axis holds promise as a potential therapeutic approach for treating LSCC.
