ABSTRACT
Although lncRNAs are recognized to contribute to the development of oral squamous-cell carcinoma (OSCC), their exact function in invasion and cell migration is not clear. In this research, we explored the molecular and cellular mechanisms of FOXD2-AS1 in OSCC. Prognostic and bioinformatics analyses were used to test for the differential expression of FOXD2-AS1-PLOD1. Following FOXD2-AS1 suppression or overexpression, changes in cell viability were measured using the CCK-8 test; changes in cell migration and invasion abilities were measured using the migration and the Transwell assay. The expression of associated genes and proteins was found using Western blot and RT-qPCR. Analysis of luciferase reporter genes was done to look for regulatory connections between various molecules. The FOXD2-AS1-PLOD1 pair, which was highly expressed in OSCC, was analyzed and experimentally verified to be closely related to the prognosis of OSCC, and a nomogram model and correction curve were constructed. The inhibition of FOXD2-AS1 resulted in the reduction of cell activity, migration, invasion ability and changes in genes related to invasion and migration. In vivo validation showed that inhibition of FOXD2-AS1 expression slowed tumor growth, and related proteins changed accordingly. The experiments verified that FOXD2-AS1 negatively regulated miR-185-5 p and that miR-185-5 p negatively regulated PLOD1. In addition, it was found that the expression of PLOD1, p-Akt and p-mTOR proteins in OSCC cells was reduced by the inhibition of FOXD2-AS1, and FOXD2-AS1 and PLOD1 were closely related to the Akt/mTOR pathway. Increased expression of FOXD2-AS1 promotes OSCC growth, invasion and migration, which is important in part by targeting miR-185-5 p/PLOD1/Akt/mTOR pathway activity.
