The aim of the present study was to characterize the roles of two microRNAs (miRs) that have been reported to be differentially expressed in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC), miR-335 and miR-182. In total, 20 tumor tissue samples and 20 corresponding adjacent non-cancerous samples were collected from patients with TSCC to measure the expression of miR-335 and miR-182 and the potential shared target of these miRs, survivin, using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. In the TSCC tissue samples, significantly decreased expression of the two miRs and increased expression of survivin were detected compared with adjacent non-cancerous controls. Subsequently, it was confirmed that survivin was the target gene of miR-335 and miR-182 using a luciferase assay in TSCC cells. In order to examine the function of miR-335 and miR-182 in the development of TSCC, TSCC cells were transiently transfected with the mimics of the two miRs, and it was confirmed that the introduction of miR-335 and miR-182 to cells suppressed the expression of survivin and markedly inhibited the proliferation of the TSCC cells. Furthermore, miR-335 and miR-182 were found to induce cell cycle arrest by suppressing the expression of survivin. The present study revealed a negative regulatory role of miR-335 and miR-182 in the proliferation of TSCC cells by targeting survivin, and miR-335 and miR-182 may be novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of TSCC.
