Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression of miR-219 and its role in tongue squamous cell carcinoma(TSCC).Methods The relative expression of miR-219 in the 26 samples of surgically resected paired TSCC and normal tumor-adjacent tissues was detected by qRT-PCR.The expression of miR-219 in SCC-15 and normal oral mucosa cell were also tested by qRT-PCR.The miR-219 mimic was transferred into SCC-15 cell.Cell proliferative rate and the ability of colony formation were analyzed.The abilities of migration and invasion in SCC-15 cell were evaluated by Transwell test.Results Expression of miR-219 was significantly lower in TSCC tissues(P<0.001)and SCC-15(P<0.05)in comparison with normal tumor adjacent tissues and normal oral mucosa cell.The abilities of proliferation(P<0.05),colony formation(P<0.05),migrationand invasion(P<0.05)were inhibited in miR-219-transferred SCC-15 cells.Conclusion The expression of miR-219 was downregulated in TSCC.The miR-219 could inhibit cell proliferation,colony formation,migration and invasion in TSCC.
