Increasing evidence demonstrates that many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated with the development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). As shown by bioinformatics analysis, lncRNA non-catalytic region of tyrosine kinase adaptor protein 1-antisense 1 (NCK1-AS1) is upregulated in tissues of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The study aimed to explore the role and mechanism of NCK1-AS1 in LSCC. NCK1-AS1 expression in LSCC cells was evaluated by reverse transcription qPCR. The viability, proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis of LSCC cells with indicated transfection were evaluated by CCK-8 assays, Ethynyl deoxyuridine incorporation assays, Transwell assays, wound healing assays, and TUNEL assays, respectively. Subcellular fractionation assays were performed to evaluate the cellular distribution of NCK1-AS1 and NCK1. NCK1 protein level in LSCC cells with indicated transfection was quantified by western blotting. The binding relation between miR-137 and NCK1-AS1 (or NCK1) were determined using RNA immunoprecipitation assays and luciferase reporter assays. NCK1-AS1 was highly expressed in LSCC cell lines. NCK1-AS1 depletion suppressed LSCC cell viability, proliferation, invasion, and migration while enhancing cell apoptosis. NCK1, an adjacent gene of NCK1-AS1, is also highly expressed in LSCC cells and was positively regulated by NCK1-AS1. Moreover, NCK1-AS1 interact with miR-137 to upregulate NCK1 expression. NCK1 was the downstream target of miR-137 and was negatively correlated to miR-137. In addition, overexpressed NCK1 reversed the suppressive impact of NCK1-AS1 depletion on malignant behaviors of LSCC cells. NCK1-AS1 contributes to LSCC cellular behaviors by upregulating NCK1 via interaction with miR-137.

Object: N6-methyladenosine (mA), is well known as the most abundant epigenetic modification in messenger RNA, but its influence on laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remains largely unexplored and poorly understood. This study was designed to explore the effects of mA on WISP1-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumorigenesis in LSCC.
Methods: mA methylated and expression levels of WISP1 in LSCC tumor tissues and cells were measured by MeRIP-qPCR, qRT-PCR, and western blotting.

Background: Tumor-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play an essential role in reprogramming the tumor microenvironment. Metabolic reprogramming is an essential prerequisite for M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). This M2 phenotype is closely related to the immune dysfunction of CD8 T cells and subsequent tumor progression.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), which represents a significant proportion of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cases, is often diagnosed at advanced stages, underscoring the urgent need for effective biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Junctional adhesion molecule 3 () is implicated in various types of cancer; however, its role in LSCC remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the epigenetic regulation and tumor‑suppressive functions and mechanisms of in LSCC.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of TRIM71 as a potential therapeutic target for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), a common head and neck tumor, which has been on the rise.
- TRIM71 was found to be significantly downregulated in LSCC tissues, and its overexpression inhibited cell growth and tumor development in xenograft models.
- The research suggests that TRIM71 may exert its anti-tumor effects by regulating the stability of eIF5A2 protein, indicating that targeting TRIM71 could be a promising strategy for LSCC treatment.
