Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression levels of microRNA (miR)‑363‑3p and its underlying physiological function in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). miR‑363‑3p expression levels were measured in OSCC cell lines using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. The role of miR‑363‑3p in OSCC cells was examined using gain‑of‑function assays in vitro. Cell proliferation was assessed using Cell Counting Kit‑8, 5‑ethynyl‑2'‑deoxyuridine assays and flow cytometry. Cell migration and invasion were evaluated in wound‑healing and Transwell Matrigel assays. In addition, bioinformatics analysis predicted binding sites of miR‑363‑3p on sperm‑specific antigen 2 (SSFA2). Luciferase reporter and RNA pull‑down assays were conducted to test whether miR‑363‑3p interacted with SSFA2. miR‑363‑3p expression was downregulated in OSCC cell lines compared with that in the normal epithelial cell line (NHOK). Additionally, miR‑363‑3p overexpression suppressed OSCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. SSFA2 was verified as a direct target of miR‑363‑3p, and SSFA2 overexpression partially counteracted the inhibitory effects of miR‑363‑3p on cell proliferation, migration and invasion in OSCC cell lines. Thus, miR‑363‑3p may serve as a tumor suppressor via targeting SSFA2 and may represent a potential therapeutic target for OSCC.
