Abstract

Background: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common cancer of head and neck cancer. Y-box binding protein-1 (YBX1) has tumor-promoting effects in some types of cancers. However, its role in LSCC remains unknown. This study set out to identify the role of YBX1 in LSCC.

Methods: Bioinformatics analysis of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and our cohort data were used to explore the association of YBX1 expression with clinicopathological factors in LSCC. Then, cells with stably or transiently transfected with plasmid or siRNA were constructed to assess the effect of loss and gain of YBX1 on the biological phenotypes of LSCC cells in vitro. In addition, subcutaneous xenograft and orthotopic liver tumor mouse models were constructed for validation. The interrogated miRNA databases and subsequent luciferase reporter assays were used to confirm the miR-382-5p target of YBX1. At last, KEGG enrichment annotation from TGCA data was used for downstream analyses of miR-382-5p/YBX1 and verified by PCR and Western immunoblotting.

Results: The results showed that significant upregulation of YBX1 in LSCC tumors was correlated with advanced TNM stage and poor prognosis. Knockdown of YBX1 markedly impaired the proliferative, invasive, and migratory activity of Tu212 cells. We confirmed that miR-382-5p targets YBX1 to mediate LSCC progression both in vitro and in vivo. We further confirmed that miR-382-5p/YBX1 modulated the Ras/MAPK signaling axis to regulate the progression of LSCC.

Conclusion: Together, our results indicated that YBX1 is an important promoter of LSCC progression. And miR-382-5p/YBX1/RAS/MAPK signaling pathway can be perceived as a promising target in the treatment of LSCC.
