Inhibition of microRNA-17 enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis of human tongue squamous carcinoma cell.

MicroRNA-17 (miR-17) was reported to promote cell proliferation and migration of various types of cancers. However, the mechanism remains unclear. This present study was designed to explore the potential mechanism. Downregulation of miR-17 in CAL-27 cells was performed by transfecting anti-miR-27 plasmids. Xenograft tumor model was carried out to detect the effect of inhibition of microRNA-17 on tongue squamous carcinoma growth. MiR-17 inhibition promotes cisplatin-induced apoptosis via regulating the expression of apoptotic molecules. MiR-17 inhibition promotes cisplatin-induced autophagy of CAL-27 cells. Mechanically, miR-17 inhibition promotes apoptosis and autophagy through STAT3 signaling pathway. Xenograft tumor model showed that miR-17 inhibition attenuates tongue squamous carcinoma growth and promotes tongue squamous carcinoma cell apoptosis in vivo. MiR-17 inhibition enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis of human tongue squamous carcinoma cell. Our study supplies the evidence that miR-17 may serve as the potential target for human tongue squamous carcinoma treatment.
