    Abstract:
    CONCLUSIONS: The aberrant expression of long non-coding RNA HOTAIR and transmethylase EZH2 played important roles in the progression and development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). OBJECTIVES: This research was aimed to explore the expression and correlation with clinicopathological characteristics of HOTAIR and EZH2 in LSCC, and to evaluate the function of the two in regulating the proliferation and cis-platinum resistance processes of LSCC. METHODS: Quantitative real time-PCR (qPCR) was conducted to measure the expression of HOTAIR and EZH2 in tissue samples. Clinicopathological features were collected and statistically analyzed combining with the expression of HOTAIR and EZH2. The variance of EZH2 with down-regulating HOTAIR was measured by qPCR. CCK-8 proliferation test was conducted to detect the proliferation feature in LSCC cells. After cultured with a series of cis-platinum concentrations for 24 h, cell viability was detected using CCK-8 assay, and the inhibition rates were calculated. RESULTS: HOTAIR and EZH2 were over-expressed in LSCC tissue. The higher expression was significantly related to T phase, pathological grades, and risk of lymphatic metastasis of LSCC. Suppressing HOTAIR expression stimulated EZH2 expressing, promoted the proliferation of AMC-HN8 cells, and increased the sensitivity to cis-platinum of the LSCC cells.
