Glycolytic reprogramming is a typical feature of many cancers; however, key regulators of glucose metabolism reengineering are poorly understood, especially in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Here, Homeobox A9 (HOXA9), a direct target of onco-miR-365, is identified to be significantly downregulated in cSCC tumors and cell lines. HOXA9 acts as a tumor suppressor and inhibits glycolysis in cSCC in vitro and in vivo by negatively regulating HIF-1α and its downstream glycolytic regulators, HK2, GLUT1 and PDK1. Mechanistic studies show that HOXA9-CRIP2 interaction at glycolytic gene promoters impeds HIF-1α binding, repressing gene expression in trans. Our results reveal a miR-365-HOXA9-HIF-1α regulatory axis that contributes to the enhanced glycolysis in cSCC development and may represent an intervention target for cSCC therapy.
