[1] PubMed ID: | 33732364 |
Disease Name: | Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck |
Sample: | OSCC tissues |
Dysfunction Pattern: | Interaction(miR-375/JAK2 axis) |
Validated Method: | qRT-PCR//Western Blot |
Description: | The results demonstrated that UASR1 was upregulated in OSCC tissues compared with non-tumor tissues, and the high level of UASR1 expression was associated with poor overall survival.Therefore, UASR1 is overexpressed in OSCC and regulates cancer cell proliferation by regulating the miR-375/JAK2 axis. |
Causality: | Yes |
Causal Description: | UASR1 is predicted to interact with miR-375 and the interaction was confirmed by Dual-luciferase activity assay. However, overexpression of UASR1 and miR-375 did not affect the expression of each other. Instead, upregulation of JAK2, a target of miR-375, was observed after the overexpression of UASR1 in OSCC cells. Moreover, overexpression of UASR1 attenuated the inhibitory effects of miR-375 on the expression of JAK2 and cell proliferation. |
Clinical-realted Application: | The results demonstrated that UASR1 was upregulated in OSCC tissues compared with non-tumor tissues, and the high level of UASR1 expression was associated with poor overall survival. |
