Abstract Background Motivation: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the relatively common malignant tumors occurring in the epithelial tissue of the larynx. Recently study showed that tumor immunity mechanisms have highly correlation with the development and progression of LSCC. With the development of research on circular RNA (circRNA) in recent years, a large number of abnormal expressions of circRNA in various tumors have been reported. There is a large number of evidences indicated that circRNA is widely involved in stage development of tumors and it also plays an important role as a biomarker in diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the study of the pathways involved in the development of tumor by circRNA is a necessary process for humans to further understand cancer at the transcriptional level. The purpose of this study was to identify the circRNAs in tumor tissues of patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) by NGS technique and to find the circRNAs that were significantly different from normal adjacent tissues. Finally, the mechanism of these differentially expressed tumor immunity circRNAs affecting LSCC development was further analyzed. Methods Raw data was mapped to Hg19 human genome and circRNA read count matrix was generated by featureCount software. In this study, the screening criteria for differential expression were p-value < 0.01 and | log2(FoldChange) | > 2.0. Filtered circRNAs were then applied for generating circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction network with known human micro RNA (miRNAs). After filtering unmeaning interactions, network-involved mRNAs were implement to KEGG analysis. Among those KEGG terms, immunity-related pathways were selected and their related circRNAs were chosen for further analysis. Second KEGG analysis then performed to these circRNAs for detecting their potential to be biomarkers. Finally a QRT-PCR experiment was used to verify the results. Results Among the 8 samples, 4 were LSCC tumor tissue samples and 4 were adjacent normal tissue samples. A total of 75,931 circRNAs were identified in total 8 samples. After filtering through the above screening criteria, we obtained 39 significantly differential expressed circRNAs from those identified candidates. Of the 39 circRNAs, 21 were detected to be significantly less expressed in LSCC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues, and other 18 were significantly higher. Through the interaction analysis of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA, we found that these differential expressed circRNAs were related to tumor immunity. After screening, four circRNAs with the strongest correlation with tumor immunity were obtained. We found that they play an important role in the membrane receptor tyrosine protein kinase signaling pathway pathway (Ras-Raf-MAPK pathway) and p53 signaling pathway. Conclusion According to the results, the method of detecting expression of four selected circRNAs has a bright future to be a kind of new LSCC diagnose approach.

AbstractIntroduction: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a highly aggressive malignant cancer, but the molecular mechanisms underlying its development and progression remain largely elusive. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the expression profile and functional role of microRNA-625 (miR-625) in LSCC.Materials and methods: LSCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected from 86 LSCC patients. The expression levels of miR-625 and SOX4 mRNA in tissues and cells were detected by RT-qPCR analysis. The expression levels of SOX4 and EMT-related proteins were detected by western blot analysis. In vitro cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were detected by MTT assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay, and transwell invasion assay, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the binding relationship between miR-625 and the 3′-UTR of SOX4.Results: The results demonstrated that miR-625 is significantly down-regulated in clinical LSCC tissues, and its low expression may be closely associated with unfavorable clinicopathological characteristics of LSCC patients. Overexpression of miR-625 significantly suppressed the proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of LSCC cells. Furthermore, SOX4 was validated as a direct target of miR-625 in LSCC cells, and rescue experiments suggested that restoration of SOX4 blocked the tumor suppressive role of miR-625 in LSCC cells.Conclusions: Taken together, these findings highlighted a critical role of miR-625 in the pathogenesis of LSCC, and restoration of miR-625 could be considered as a potential therapeutic strategy against this fatal disease.
