MG53 is transcriptionally activated by the IRS-1/PI3K/AKT signal pathway, which is closely related with oncogenesis of several tumors. Here, the role of MG53 in the tumorigenesis of tongue cancer is analyzed in vitro and in vivo. The stable MG53 overexpression/knockdown SCC9 and SCC25 cells are constructed through retrovirus infection. Then a PLGA cylinder is used to provide a 3D culture environment for cell growth. Cell counting results suggest that overexpression of MG53 inhibits the cell proliferation and colony formation of SCC9 and SCC25 cells. While knockdown of MG53 has the opposite effect. Furthermore, knockdown of MG53 significantly promotes the invasion of SCC9 and SCC25 cells. Western blotting data confirm that MG53 affects the expression of the AKT signaling pathway. In a xenograft assay, knockdown of MG53 promotes the growth of xenograft which is induced by SCC25 cells in nude mice. The findings demonstrate that MG53 affects the biological behavior of human tongue cancer SCC9 and SCC25 cells.

(1) Background: MicroRNA-129 (miR-129) participates in tumor progression and chemoresistance in various cancer types. In this study, the role of miR-129-3p, the main mature form of miR-129, in tumor progression and chemoradiotherapy resistance in head and neck cancer was evaluated. (2) Methods: RT-PCR, western blotting, cell proliferation assays, cell apoptosis assays, and cell invasion and migration assays were used.

The activation of the human interferon-inducible protein X (IFIX) isoform is associated with maintaining a stable cytoskeleton and inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the mechanisms and pathways underlying IFIX-mediated oncogenesis are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of IFIX overexpression and knockdown in CAL-27 and SCC-25 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells.

Inspired by our previous efforts in the semisynthetic modification of naturally occurring pyranoacridones, we report the targeted design and semisynthesis of dual inhibitors of HDAC and topoisomerase II α (Topo II α) derived from des--methylacronycine () and noracronycine () pyranoacridone alkaloids. Designed from the clinically approved SAHA, the cytotoxic pyranoacridone nuclei from the alkaloids served as the capping group, while a hydroxamic acid moiety functioned as the zinc-binding group. Out of 16 compounds evaluated in an cytotoxicity assay, KT32 () with noracronycine () as the capping group and five-carbon linker hydroxamic acid side chains showed good cytotoxic activity with IC values of 1.

Background And Purpose: Trichosanthin (TCS) is a plant-based ribosome-inactivating protein exhibiting a range of pharmacological properties, including abortifacient and anticancer. However, the routine clinical use in cancer treatment was hampered by its antigenicity. Hexokinase 2 (HK2) is a pivotal regulator of glycolysis, where aberrant expression is observed in many cancers.

Dysregulated long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression is linked to various cancers and may be influenced by oncogenic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, a known and detectable risk factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. However, research on the oncogenic role of EBV-induced lncRNAs in OSCC is limited. To identify lncRNA-associated EBV infection and OSCC carcinogenesis, the differential expression of RNA-seq datasets from paired normal adjacent and OSCC tissues, and microarray data from EBV-negative and EBV-positive SCC25 cells, were identified and selected, respectively, for interaction, functional analysis, and CCK-8 cell proliferation, wound healing, and invasion Transwell assays.
