    Abstract:
    Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) refers to the malignant tumor of the head and neck with a highest morbidity. It exhibits a poor prognosis and unsatisfactory treatment partially attributed to delayed diagnosis. As indicated from existing reports, the protein histidine phosphatase LHPP acts as a vital factor in tumorigenesis in liver, lung, bladder, breast and pancreatic tumor tissues. Thus far, the functional mechanism of LHPP in OSCC remains unclear. DGE analysis, OSCC cell lines and OSCC cases were found that LHPP was down-regulated in OSCC tissues and cells compared with that in normal oral mucosa tissues and cells, and was closely related to OSCC differentiation. Cell counting Kit 8 test, EdU proliferation test, scratches test, invasion test, monoclonal formation test, mouse xenograft tumor model, HE staining and immunohistochemistry showed that LHPP inhibited OSCC growth, proliferation and migration in vivo and in vitro. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, LHPP transcription factor analysis and flow cytometry found that LHPP promotes the apoptosis of OSCC by decreasing the transcriptional activity of p-PI3K and p-Akt. Finally, our results suggested that LHPP inhibited the progression of OSCC through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, indicating that LHPP may be a new target for the treatment of OSCC.
