Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the function of microRNA (miR)‑223‑5p in the malignant biological behavior of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism. The expression levels of miR‑223‑5p and doublecortin‑like kinase 1 (DCLK1) were detected via reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis. Cell viability was evaluated using Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay. Cell migration and invasion were measured via Transwell assays, while a luciferase reporter assay was conducted to identify the interaction between miR‑223‑5p and DCLK1. The results demonstrated that miR‑223‑5p expression was significantly downregulated, whereas DCLK1 expression was significantly upregulated in NPC tissues and cells. Moreover, both miR‑223‑5p overexpression and DCLK1 silencing markedly suppressed the progression of NPC. It was also observed that miR‑223‑5p directly targeted DCLK1 and decreased its expression. Furthermore, it was suggested that DCLK1 overexpression may partially reverse the suppressive effects of miR‑223‑5p on the progression of NPC. Collectively, the results of the present study indicated that miR‑223‑5p may suppress NPC progression by targeting DCLK1, thereby indicating a novel potential approach to the diagnosis and treatment of NPC.
