Abstrakt: Vitamin D is an essential molecule for cellular homeostasis, playing a critical role in cell fate decisions including cell proliferation, differentiation, and viability. Accumulating evidence has revealed that expression of the vitamin D-metabolizing enzyme CYP24A1 is dysregulated in different types of human malignancy. CYP24A1 has been shown to be involved in the oncogenic property of a variety of carcinoma cells. However, the pathological relevance of CYP24A1 expression level in human oral malignancy remains to be clarified. In the present study, suppression of CYP24A1 expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells increased cell proliferation, invasive activity, colony formation efficacy, and tumor growth in vivo. In addition, knockout of CYP24A1 expression inhibited cell death induced by two different types of anticancer drugs, i.e., fluorouracil and cisplatin. Gene clustering by RNA-sequence analysis revealed that several signaling molecules associated with MYC are involved in CYP24A1-mediated oncogenic behaviors. Furthermore, decreased expression level of CYP24A1 was observed in 124/204 cases (61%) of OSCC and was shown to be associated with short relapse-free and overall survival periods. The results showed that a low expression level of CYP24A1 promotes the oncogenic activity of OSCC and is significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with this malignancy.
