Abstract

MicroRNA miR-26a and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) MEG3 gene have been independently reported to be tumor suppressor genes in various cancers, but neither has been previously associated with tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). We report here that miR-26a and lncRNA MEG3 gene expression were both strongly reduced in TSCC compared with levels in matched nonmalignant tissues, and combined low expression levels of both miR-26a and MEG3 emerged as an independent prognostic factor for poor clinical outcome in TSCC patients. Assays in the human TSCC cell lines SCC-15 and CAL27 showed that miR-26a targets the DNA methyltransferase 3B transcript and that its inhibition may result in the upregulation of MEG3, providing a plausible link between the observed reduction of miR-26a and MEG3 in TSCC tissue. Furthermore, the overexpression of miR-26a or MEG3 in SCC-15 and CAL27 cells inhibited cell proliferation and cell cycle progression, and promoted cell apoptosis. Considering the poor prognostic outcomes associated with reduced miR-26a and MEG3, our findings imply that these factors likely play important antitumor effects in TSCC pathogenesis. Furthermore, they represent potential prognostic biomarkers for stratification of TSCC patients.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

Basal cell carcinoma is a form of malignant skin cancer found on the head and neck regions and has low rates of metastasis. Discover the latest research on basal cell carcinoma here.
