Popis: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. The high morbidity and mortality of OSCC are a great burden to global health-care systems. Therefore it is important to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of OSCC initiation and progression. This study aimed to investigate the role of circMAT2B in OSCC progression and its molecular mechanisms. First, the expression and circularization of circMAT2B in OSCC cells were verified. Subsequently, knockdown of circMAT2B was shown to inhibit OSCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and the Warburg effect. Bioinformatics prediction, RNA-pull down, and luciferase reporter gene assays led to the identification of a novel TEAD1/circMAT2B/miR-942-5p/HSPD1 axis in OSCC progression. In conclusion, the novel TEAD1/circMAT2B/miR-942-5p/HSPD1 axis is a potential target for OSCC.
