| Abstract |
Increasing evidence indicates that dysregulation of microRNAs is involved in tumor progression and development. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of microRNA-24 (miR-24) and its function in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect miR-24 expression in LSCC cell lines and tissue samples. MTT, colony formation, and flow cytometry was performed to analyze the effects of miR-24 expression on growth, apoptosis, and radiosensitivity of LSCC cells. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to examine regulation of putative miR-24 targets. Expression of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) mRNA and protein, cleaved or total caspase-3, and cleaved or total PARP protein were detected by qRT-PCR and western blotting assays, respectively. miR-24 expression levels in LSCC cell lines or tissue were significantly lower than in a normal human keratinocyte cell line or adjacent normal tissues. Functional analyses indicated that re-expression of miR-24 inhibits growth, reduces colony formation, and enhances apoptosis in LSCC cells. In addition, miR-24 upregulation increases LSCC sensitivity to irradiation by enhancing irradiation-induced apoptosis, and luciferase activity indicated that miR-24 binds to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of XIAP mRNA. Upregulation of miR-24 inhibits XIAP protein expression in LSCC cells, and silencing of XIAP mimics the effects of miR-24 upregulation on LSCC cells. In addition, XIAP mRNA expression significantly increases in LSCC tissues and is inversely correlated with miR-24 expression. Our data suggest that miR-24 inhibits growth, increases apoptosis, and enhances radiosensitivity in LSCC cells by targeting XIAP. Therefore, miR-24 may be a potential molecular target for the treatment of human LSCC. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 June 2015.
All research outputs
#3,120,433
of 22,813,792 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Cell International
#312
of 1,799 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#41,659
of 264,344 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Cell International
#4
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,813,792 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,799 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 264,344 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
