Objective:
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the potential influence of LINC01605 on the progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and the underlying mechanism.
Patients And Methods:
LINC01605 and microRNA-493-3p (miR-493-3p) levels in normal laryngeal tissues, LSCC tissues, and paired paracancerous tissues were detected. Regulatory effects of LINC01605 on proliferative ability and apoptosis in HEp-2 and AMC-HN-8 cells were assessed. Besides, the interaction between LINC01605 and miR-493-3p was evaluated by Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay and Spearman's rank correlation analysis. Finally, rescue experiments were conducted to clarify the role of LINC01605/miR-493-3p axis in the progression of LSCC.
Results:
LINC01605 was upregulated and miR-493-3p was downregulated in LSCC tissues. Knockdown of LINC01605 inhibited proliferative ability, and stimulated apoptosis in HEp-2 and AMC-HN-8 cells. Moreover, LINC01605 directly bound to miR-493-3p, and the former negatively regulated the level of the latter. In addition, miR-493-3p was able to reverse the regulatory effect of LINC01605 on proliferative ability in LSCC.
Conclusions:
LINC01605 is upregulated in LSCC tissues, and it promotes the malignant progression of LSCC via targeting miR-493-3p.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
