lncRNA MALAT1靶向miR-150对口腔鳞癌细胞增殖和凋亡的影响及分子机制

目的:研究MALAT1对口腔鳞癌细胞SCC-25增殖、凋亡的影响，并探讨其机制。方法:运用qRT-PCR检测人口腔鳞癌细胞SCC-25、人永生化口腔上皮细胞HIOEC中MALAT1和miR-150的mRNA表达；将si-con组（转染si-con）、si-MALAT1组（转染si-MALAT1）、miR-150组（转染miR-150 mimics）、miR-con组（转染miR-con）、si-MALAT1+anti-miR-con组（si-MALAT1和anti-miR-con共转染）、si-MALAT1+anti-miR-150组（si-MALAT1和anti-miR-150共转染），均以脂质体法转染至SCC-25细胞；MTT法检测各组细胞的增殖；流式细胞术检测各组细胞的凋亡；双荧光素酶报告基因检测实验检测各组细胞的荧光活性。结果:与人永生化口腔上皮HIOEC细胞（Normal组）相比，口腔鳞癌SCC-25细胞（Tumor组）中MALAT1表达显著上调，miR-150显著下调（P＜0.05）；敲减MALAT1、过表达miR-150均可抑制SCC-25细胞增殖，促进凋亡；MALAT1靶向miR-150。抑制miR-150逆转了敲减MALAT1对口腔鳞癌细胞的增殖抑制和凋亡促进作用。结论:MALAT1可促进口腔鳞癌细胞增殖并抑制凋亡，其机制可能与靶向miR-150有关，可为口腔鳞癌的治疗提供新靶点。     

Patient-based outcomes and quality of life

Patient-based outcomes complement clinical data with patients’ self-evaluation of their physical, psychological, and social well-being, and as such facilitate clinical decision-making, assessing the quality of care provided, and evaluating practices and policies. Some validated generic oral health-related quality of life measures used in recent research indicated a high performance. There is a proportional relationship between the quality of life and periodontitis, ie, the higher the level of periodontitis, the poorer the oral health-related quality of life. This relationship is heightened by the presence of symptoms such as bleeding, halitosis, and mobility. On the other hand, periodontal treatment has demonstrated the capability to improve quality of life substantially. Future research should focus on questionnaires that are able to explain the interlinked pathways between periodontal conditions, approaches to treatment approaches, and patients’ well-being. The acquisition of new knowledge in the field is essential for the whole community, as we treat people not millimeters.
