Esophageal cancer is one of the most common human malignancies and ranks sixth for global mortality; the major histological type is esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Here we assessed the effect of long non-coding (lnc) RNA OIP5-AS1 on the miR-30a-5p/Forkhead box protein D1 (FOXD1) axis in ESCC and investigated the underlying mechanism involving the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. lnc RNA OIP5-AS1 was highly expressed in human ESCC tissues and cells, targeted miR-30a-5p, and inhibited miR-30a-5p expression. Additionally, in human ESCC tissues, miR-30a-5p was poorly expressed, whereas FOXD1 mRNA and protein were highly expressed, with a negative correlation between miR-30a-5p and FOXD1 expression. miR-30a-5p targeted and inhibited FOXD1 expression. FOXD1 promoted the proliferation and invasion of ESCC and was related to the ERK1/2 signaling pathway; ERK1/2 inhibitors (LY-3214996) reversed the biological function of FOXD1. miR-30a-5p combined with FOXD1 regulated ERK1/2 expression and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. In this study, micro- and nano-particles were used as carriers to construct Nanocapsules carrying miR-30a-5p mimics and miR-30a-5p inhibitor through self-assembly method, so as to realize an efficient Nanocapsules delivery system of miR-30a-5p to esophageal cancer cells. It provides insights into targeted drug therapy and the development of micro- and nano-particles carriers.
