LncOCMRL1 promotes oral squamous cell carcinoma growth and metastasis via the RRM2/EMT pathway.
Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are widely involved in cancer development and progression, but the functions of most lncRNAs have not yet been elucidated. Metastasis is the main factor restricting the therapeutic outcomes of various cancer types, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Therefore, exploring the key lncRNAs that regulate OSCC metastasis and elucidating their molecular mechanisms will facilitate the development of new strategies for effective OSCC therapy.
Methods: We analyzed the lncRNA expression profiles of tumor tissues from OSCC patients with and without cervical lymph node metastasis, and OSCC cell lines. We revealed high expression of oral squamous cell carcinoma metastasis-related lncRNA 1 (lncOCMRL1) in OSCC patient tumor tissues with lymph node metastasis and highly metastatic OSCC cell lines. The effects of lncOCMRL1 knockdown on the invasion, migration and proliferation abilities of OSCC cells were explored through qRT-PCR, Transwell, colony formation, and cell proliferation experiments. The mechanism by which lncOCMRL1 promotes OSCC metastasis and proliferation was explored through RNA pull-down, silver staining, mass spectrometry, RIP, and WB experiments. To increase its translational potential, we developed a reduction-responsive nanodelivery system to deliver siRNA for antitumor therapy.
Results: We determined that lncOCMRL1 is highly expressed in OSCC metastatic tumor tissues and cells. Functional studies have shown that high lncOCMRL1 expression can promote the growth and metastasis of OSCC cells both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, lncOCMRL1 could induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) via the suppression of RRM2 ubiquitination and thereby promote the proliferation, invasion, and migration of OSCC cells. We further constructed reduction-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) for the systemic delivery of siRNAs targeting lncOCMRL1 and demonstrated their high efficacy in silencing lncOCMRL1 expression in vivo and significantly inhibited OSCC tumor growth and metastasis.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that lncOCMRL1 is a reliable target for blocking lymph node metastasis in OSCC.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research is an esteemed peer-reviewed publication that focuses on cancer research, encompassing everything from fundamental discoveries to practical applications.
We welcome submissions that showcase groundbreaking advancements in the field of cancer research, especially those that bridge the gap between laboratory findings and clinical implementation. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of cancer, improve prevention and detection strategies, facilitate accurate diagnosis, and enhance treatment options.
We are particularly interested in manuscripts that shed light on the mechanisms behind the development and progression of cancer, including metastasis. Additionally, we encourage submissions that explore molecular alterations or biomarkers that can help predict the efficacy of different treatments or identify drug resistance. Translational research related to targeted therapies, personalized medicine, tumor immunotherapy, and innovative approaches applicable to clinical investigations are also of great interest to us.
We provide a platform for the dissemination of large-scale molecular characterizations of human tumors and encourage researchers to share their insights, discoveries, and methodologies with the wider scientific community.
By publishing high-quality research articles, reviews, and commentaries, the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research strives to contribute to the continuous improvement of cancer care and make a meaningful impact on patients' lives.
