Figure Lengend Snippet: miR-639 targets to FOXC1 3′-untranslated region (UTR). (a) Target sequence of miR-639 in FOXC1 3′-UTR predicted by TargetScan and mutation of the sequence. (b) Luciferase assay was performed in transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ)-treated SCC9 and CAL27 cells that were co-transfected with miRNA mimics and reporter vectors carrying FOXC1 3′-UTR with a wild-type ( FOXC1 3′-UTR) or mutated miR-639 response element ( FOXC1 3′-UTR mut). ** P < 0.01 versus parental tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells. ## P < 0.01 versus mock transfection. (c,d) FOXC1 and miR-639 expressions in SCC9 and CAL27 cells following TGFβ1 stimulation were determined using western blotting and qPCR. (e,f) FOXC1 protein expression was determined in SCC9 (TGFβ) or CAL27 (TGFβ) cells that were transfected with miRNA mimics and in SCC9 or CAL27 cells transfected with miRNA ASO. β-actin was used as an internal control.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Silencing FOXC1 expression suppressed transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ)-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in SCC9 cells. (a) FOXC1 and snail mRNA expressions were demonstrated using qPCR. ** P < 0.01 versus mock transfection. (b) Western blotting and (c) immunofluorescence staining illustrated that E-cadherin (E-cad) expression was increased and vimentin (Vim) and snail expressions were reduced when transfected with FOXC1-siRNA. β-actin was used as an internal control. Nuclei are shown in blue. Bar, 30 μm. (d) Modified Boyden chamber assays demonstrated reduced invasion and migration of SCC9 (TGFβ) cells (original magnification, ×100).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Downregulation of miR-639 correlates with lymph node metastasis and poor patient prognosis. (a) In situ hybridization for miR-639 and immunohistochemical staining for TGFβ1 and FOXC1 were demonstrated in tongue squamous cell carcinomas (TSCC) with lymph node metastasis compared with TSCC without lymph node metastasis (original magnification, ×200). (b) Quantification of miR-639 and FOXC1 expression in TSCC with lymph node metastasis compared with TSCC without lymph node metastasis. *** P < 0.001. (c) Associations between TGFβ1 expression and miR-639 expression, and miR-639 expression and FOXC1 expression in TSCC were analyzed with Spearman order correlation. Kaplan–Meier survival curves for TSCC patients are plotted on miR-639 expression (d) or FOXC1 expression (e), and the survival difference was analyzed using the log-rank test.
