Original ArticlesMicroRNA miR-31 targets SIRT3 to disrupt mitochondrial activity and increase oxidative stress in oral carcinoma

MicroRNA miR-31 is implicated in the neoplastic process of various malignancies including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Silent information regulator 3 (Sirtuin3 or SIRT3) is a NAD-dependent deacetylase that regulates metabolic process. Suppressor role of SIRT3 has been found in neoplasms. This study investigates the disruptions of miR-31-SIRT3 cascade to explore their potential association with metabolic change in OSCC. We identified that miR-31 directly targeted SIRT3 in OSCC cells, and a reverse correlation between miR-31 expression and SIRT3 expression was noted in OSCC tumors. SIRT3 expression attenuated the miR-31 enhanced tumor cell migration and invasion. It also reduced the tumorigenic potential of FaDu cell line. miR-31-SIRT3 impaired the mitochondrial membrane potential and structural integrity. The dis-regulation of this axis also contributed to the genesis of oxidative stress. In addition, miR-31 switched tumor cells from aerobic metabolism to glycolytic metabolism. This study provides novel evidences demonstrating the presence of miR-31-mediated post-transcriptional regulation of SIRT3 in OSCC. The disruption of miR-31-SIRT3 cascade and the consequential metabolic aberrances are involved in OSCC progression.
