Abstract:The expression level of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is dysregulated in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and other types of cancer. Among the RBPs, IMP3 is involved in the progression of OSCC. However, the regulation of mRNA fate by IMP3 in OSCC remains less understood. We analyzed the expression level of IMP3 and E2F5 in OSCC tissues and cell lines by immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR and Western blot. Subsequently, to further investigate the effect of IMP3 on E2F5 expression, we used siRNAs to silence IMP3 exp… Show more
