Abstract Background Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) at early stages can be misdiagnosed as an oral ulcer (OU) due to similar symptoms, such as chronic and indurated ulcer. LncRNA NCK1-AS1 has been characterized as a key player in cervical cancer, while its role in OSCC is unknown. Methods All participants were selected at Jiangxi Province Tumor Hospital from December 2016 to December 2018. Expression levels of NCK1-AS1 and miR-100 in plasma from both OSCC and OU patients were measured by RT-qPCR. Diagnostic analysis was performed through ROC curve. Potential interactions between NCK1-AS1 and miR-100 were detected by cell transfection experiments. Cell invasion and migration were assessed by Transwell assays. Results The expression of NCK1-AS1 was upregulated in early-stage OSCC patients but not in OU patients. Upregulation of NCK1-AS1 distinguished OSCC patients from OU patients. The expression of miR-100 was inversely correlated with the expression of NCK1-AS1. Overexpression of NCK1-AS1 was followed by promoted OSCC cell invasion and migration. Overexpression of miR-100 did not affect the expression of NCK1-AS1 but inhibited the role of NCK1-AS1. Conclusions Therefore, NCK1-AS1 may promote the metastasis of OSCC by downregulating miR-100.

ObjectiveThe small GTPase RhoC in human cancers is up-regulated and correlated with tumor metastasis. However, the role of Rho/Rho-associated serine-threonine protein kinase 1 (ROCK1) signaling pathway in human cervical cancer is still unclear. In this study, we examine the effects of RhoC and its major downstream target, ROCK1, on the invasion and migration of CaSki cells to investigate the role of RhoC/ROCK1 signaling pathway in the progression of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.MethodsRhoC and ROCK1 protein expression in CaSki cells was detected by Western blotting. Scratch and transwell assays were carried out to assess the effects of RhoC on invasion and migration of CaSki cells. Cell viability was assayed by MTT test after adding the ROCK1 inhibitor Y-27632 to CaSki cells.ResultsOverexpression of RhoC protein in CaSki cells significantly increases ROCK1 expression and promotes cell invasion and migration compared with the control group (P< 0.05). However, in the inhibition of ROCK1 with Y-27632 in CaSki cells when RhoC was overexpressed, the rate of invasiveness and migration was reduced remarkably (P< 0.05), dropping to comparable levels as the control.ConclusionsThis study suggested that the activation of RhoC/ROCK1 signaling pathways is likely involved in the progression of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
