miR-29a-3p enhances the radiosensitivity of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells by inhibiting ADAM12
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the head and neck, and radiotherapy is the main approach for this disease, while irradiation resistance is a huge challenge that influences radiosensitivity. This study aims to determine the role and function of miR-29a-3p and ADAM12 in the radiosensitivity of OSCC cells. The expression pattern of ADAM12 in OSCC cells was searched in TCGA database. The binding of miR-29a-3p and ADAM12 was predicted by Starbase and verified using dual luciferase reporter gene assay. The RNA or protein expressions of miR-29a-3p and ADAM12 were measured by RT-qPCR or western blot. OSCC cell lines were treated by various γ-ray irradiation dosages before the alteration on miR-29a-3p expression and on the cell viability, proliferation, migration and cell apoptosis was detected. ADAM12 was highly expressed in OSCC cells, whose expression in resistant cells was positively correlated with irradiation dosage. Overexpression of ADAM12 in OSCC cells lead to increased cell proliferation and migration ability as well as inhibited cell apoptosis. miRNAs potentially binding ADAM12 in PITA, microT, miRmap and targetscan were screened, among which miR-29a-3p had the maximum differential expression levels in OSCC cells determined by RT-qPCR. Overexpression of miR-29a-3p resulted in suppressed cell viability, proliferation, migration ability and increased cell apoptosis, while this expression pattern can be partially counteracted by ADAM12 overexpression in OSCC cells. miR-29a-3p through targeting and inhibiting AMDM12 enhances the radiosensitivity of OSCC cells.
