TSCC cells were stably transfected with a miR-141 lentivirus (Ubi-miR-141-SV40-EGFP-IRES-puromycin, miR-141 group) or an empty vector (Ubi-MCS-SV40-EGFP-IRES-puromycin, miR-NC group), with untreated cells serving as the Blank group. miR-141 expression was evaluated by rt-qPCR, transfection efficiency and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry, and cell proliferation was measured using the CCK-8 assay. Western blot and rt-qPCR were used to analyze the protein and mRNA expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2). Results: Flow cytometry confirmed successful establishment of stably transfected cell lines. The CCK-8 assay showed no significant difference in proliferation between the miR-NC and Blank groups (P > 0.05), while proliferation was significantly reduced in the miR-141 group. Apoptosis was significantly higher in the miR-141 group compared to both the miR-NC and Blank groups. Western blot and rt-qPCR analyses revealed upregulation of pten gene and PTEN protein expression, as well as downregulation of bcl2 gene and BCL2 protein expression in the miR-141 group relative to the miR-NC and Blank groups. Conclusion: In TSCC cells with high miR-141 expression, pten gene and PTEN protein levels were elevated, while bcl2 gene and BCL2 protein levels were reduced. These findings indicate that miR-141 may regulate the expression of PTEN and BCL2 at both the gene and protein levels, thereby influencing cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis.
