| Abstract | MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by either translational inhibition or mRNA degradation. miRNAs play pivotal roles in physiological functioning and pathological progression. The function of microRNA-99a (miR-99a) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the roles of miR-99a in OSCC development and the underlying mechanisms in 25 cases of primary OSCC tissues and Tca-8113 cells. The cells were analyzed using FACS analysis and western blotting. Results showed that the expression levels of miR-99a were markedly decreased in OSCC tissues compared with the adjacent non-tumor tissues (n=25). The results of in vitro experiments showed that miR-99a mimics significantly inhibited the proliferation of Tca-8113 cells, a tongue squamous carcinoma cell line, and that miR-99a mimics markedly induced the apoptosis of Tca-8113 cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) was directly targeted by miR-99a, as the overexpression of miR-99a in Tca-8113 cells downregulated the protein expression level of mTOR. Thus, our findings suggest that the downregulation of miR-99a in OSCC tissues is associated with tumor development. miR-99a regulates the growth and survival of OSCC cells and may be exploited as a biomarker and therapeutic target for patients with OSCC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
