Histone deacetylase 10 exerts antitumor effects on cervical cancer via a novel microRNA ‐223/TXNIP/Wnt/β‐catenin pathway

AbstractDysfunction of histone deacetylase 10 (HDAC10) has been suggested in the carcinogenesis of cervical cancer (CC). However, its association with microRNAs (miRNAs) in CC remains exclusive. Hence, this study aims to probe the role of HDAC10 in regulating CC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and its correlation with the screened ‐out miRNA target. Microarray analysis and RT‐qPCR revealed that HDAC10 expressed poorly in CC cells relative to human immortalized endocervical cells (End1/E6E7). Moreover, HDAC10 downregulation predicted poor survival for patients with CC. Overexpression of HDAC10 reduced CC cell biological ac tivities in vitro and tumor growth and lung metastases in vivo. miR‐223, upregulated in CC, was regulated by HDAC10 through histone acetylation, while miR‐223 inhibited the effects of HDAC10 overexpression in CC. miR‐223 targeted the 3′‐UTR of thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) and su ppressed its expression, leading to increased CC development in vitro and in vivo. TXNIP overexpression impaired Wnt/β‐catenin pathway activity in CC cells.
