LncRNA HOXA11-AS maintains the stemness of oral squamous cell carcinoma stem cells and reduces the radiosensitivity by targeting miR-518a-3p/PDK1.
Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine 2023 January 20
OBJECTIVE: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevailing oral malignancy. LncRNA HOXA11-AS shows prominent roles in OSCC. This study explored the effects of lncRNA HOXA11-AS on regulating OSCC stem cell stemness and radiosensitivity by targeting miR-518a-3p/PDK1.
METHODS: Human OSCC cell lines SCC9 and SCC15 were selected. CD133+ cancer stem cells (CSCs) were sorted by immunomagnetic beads. CD133 expression in cells and HOXA11-AS expression in SCC9, SCC15 and CD133+ SCC9, CD133+ SCC15 cells were assessed by flow cytometry and RT-qPCR. HOXA11-AS was silenced/overexpressed in SCC9, SCC15, CD133+ SCC9, and CD133+ SCC15 cells. Cell proliferation, radiosensitivity, invasion, and stem cell sphere formation ability were examined by CCK-8, colony formation, Transwell, and stem cell sphere formation. The levels of stemness-related genes (Oct4, Nanog, Sox2), miR-518a-3p, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins (E-cadherin, Vimentin, N-cadherin), and PDK1 were assessed by RT-qPCR and Western blot assay.
RESULTS: HOXA11-AS was up-regulated in SCC9, SCC15, CD133+ SCC9, and CD133+ SCC15 cells. HOXA11-AS silencing inhibited OSCC proliferation and invasion and enhanced radiosensitivity. HOXA11-AS maintained CSC stemness in OSCC. HOXA11-AS silencing reduced CD133+ SCC9 and CD133+ SCC15 stem cell sphere formation ability, reduced stem cell stemness-related gene levels, and inhibited EMT. HOXA11-AS regulated OSCC stem cell stemness and radiosensitivity by targeting miR-518a-3p. PDK1 overexpression annulled the regulatory effects of HOXA11-AS silencing on OSCC cell stem cell stemness and radiosensitivity.
CONCLUSION: In vitro lncRNA HOXA11-AS silencing inhibited OSCC stem cell stemness by targeting the miR-518a-3p/PDK1 axis, thus enhancing OSCC cell radiosensitivity. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
