Abstract

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common types of head and neck neoplasms in the world. Patients diagnosed with OSCC exhibit a poor prognosis. WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX), as a candidate tumor-suppressor gene, is involved in the genesis and progression of tumors. The deletion of the WWOX gene has been identified in OSCC and oral leukoplakia, but the function and mechanism of WWOX in OSCC remain unknown. Therefore, the present study investigated the role of WWOX in oral squamous carcinoma cells. The results revealed that an elevation of WWOX expression had an inhibitory effect on the growth of three types of oral squamous carcinoma cells, with the most evident effect occurring in Tca8113 cells. Also, in the Tca8113 cells, WWOX overexpression significantly inhibited colony formation, and induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Microarray analysis, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting methods detected that WWOX overexpression contributed to the differential expression of the genes involved in mediating the extracellular‑signal regulated protein kinase/mitogen‑activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) signaling pathway. These results suggest that the tumor‑suppressor function of the WWOX gene may be associated with the modulation of the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway, thus providing a novel target for OSCC therapy.
