miR-504 knockout regulates tumor cell proliferation and immune cell infiltration to accelerate oral cancer development

miR-504 plays a pivotal role in the progression of oral cancer.However,the underlying mechanism remains elusive in vivo.Here,we find that miR-504 is significantly down-regulated in oral cancer patients.We generate miR-504 knockout mice(miR-504-/-)using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to investigate its impact on the malignant progression of oral cancer under exposure to 4-Nitroquinoline N-oxide(4NQO).We show that the deletion of miR-504 does not affect phenotypic characteristics,body weight,reproductive performance,and survival in mice,but results in changes in the blood physiological and biochemical indexes of the mice.Moreover,with 4NQO treatment,miR-504-/-mice exhibit more pronounced pathological changes char-acteristic of oral cancer.RNA sequencing shows that the differentially expressed genes observed in samples from miR-504-/-mice with oral cancer are involved in regulating cell metabolism,cytokine acti-vation,and lipid metabolism-related pathways.Additionally,these differentially expressed genes are significantly enriched in lipid metabolism pathways that influence immune cell infiltration within the tumor microenvironment,thereby accelerating tumor development progression.Collectively,our results suggest that knockout of miR-504 accelerates malignant progression in 4NQO-induced oral cancer by regulating tumor cell proliferation and lipid metabolism,affecting immune cell infiltration.
