Objective: Emerging studies have identified that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in cancer development. This study aims to explore the mechanism of NF-KappaB (NF-κB) interacting lncRNA (NKILA) in the pathological process of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: NKILA expression in OSCC tissues, paracancerous tissues, and normal human oral keratinocytes and OSCC cell lines was detected using RT-qPCR. KB cells were selected for the follow-up experiments. The role of NKILA in cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and NF-κB signaling pathway was identified using the gain- and loss-of function of NKILA in OSCC cells. Additionally, the role of NKILA in vitro was determined by inducing xenograft tumors in nude mice. Results: NKILA was poorly expressed in OSCC tissues and cells. Cell proliferation, invasion and migration, tumor volume and weight were significantly suppressed in cells with overexpressed NKILA, while silencing NKILA led to opposite trends. Moreover, the protein levels of p-IκBα and nuclear-p65 were markedly decreased, while the levels of IκBα and cytoplasm-p65 were enhanced in cells with overexpressed NKILA. Conclusion: This study provided evidence that NKILA could reduce proliferation, invasion and migration of OSCC cells through inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway. The findings may offer new insights for OSCC prevention and treatment.
