E2F6-Mediated Downregulation of MIR22HG Facilitates the Progression of Laryngocarcinoma by Targeting the miR-5000-3p/FBXW7 Axis.

Recently, abundant evidence has clarified that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an oncogenic or anticancer role in the tumorigenesis and development of diverse human cancers. Described as a crucial regulator in some cancers, MIR22HG has not yet been studied in laryngocarcinoma and therefore the underlying regulatory role of MIR22HG in laryngocarcinoma is worth detecting. In this study, MIR22HG expression in laryngocarcinoma cells was confirmed to be downregulated, and upregulated MIR22HG expression led to suppressive effects on laryngocarcinoma cell proliferation and migration. Molecular mechanism assays revealed that MIR22HG sponges miR-5000-3p in laryngocarcinoma cells. Besides, decreased expression of miR-5000-3p suppressed laryngocarcinoma cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, the FBXW7 gene was reported to be a downstream target gene of miR-5000-3p in laryngocarcinoma cells. More importantly, rescue assays verified that FBXW7 depletion or miR-5000-3p upregulation countervailed the repressive effects of MIR22HG overexpression on laryngocarcinoma progression. In addition, E2F6 was proved to be capable of inhibiting MIR22HG transcription in laryngocarcinoma cells. To sum up, E2F6-induced downregulation of MIR22HG promotes laryngocarcinoma progression through the miR-5000-3p/FBXW7 axis.
