Abstract:Objective To observe the expression of miR-21-5p in oral submucosal fibrotic cancerous cells and its bioinformatics analysis. Methods The primary oral mucosal epithelial cells of rats were divided into experimental group and normal control group. The experimental group was induced with areca nut extract of 50 μg/ml, and the model of oral submucosal fibrotic cancerous cells was established. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-21-5p in the two groups, and 30 databases including miRDB and TargetScan were used to predict the target genes of hsa-miR-21-5p, and functional enrichment analysis and signal pathway enrichment analysis were performed. Results RT-qPCR results showed that the expression of miR-21-5p in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was highly statistically significant (P < 0.01). The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that Smad7, PLAG1, and TGF-β1 ranked the top three in the comprehensive score of miR-21-5p target gene prediction. MiR-21-5p target genes were mainly enriched in cellular macromolecular metabolism, intracellular organelles, and other components and protein enzyme aggregation, while the signaling pathways were significantly enriched in MAPK and other signaling pathways. Conclusion MiR-21-5p is highly expressed in oral submucosal fibrotic cancerous cells. Smad7 may influence oral submucosal fibrotic carcinogenesis by mediating the cross-dialogue between miR-21-5p and TGF-β.
