The present study aimed to investigate the variations of the gene network and biological functions induced by hsa-miR-145-5p in the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) cell line Tu-177. A hsa-miR-145-5p-over-expressed Tu-177 cell model was established, and the gene expression microarray data of miR-145-5p-overexpressed cells and negative control (NC) cells were analyzed. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between two groups were identified, and their potential functions were predicted by functional enrichment analysis. Furthermore, the targets of miR-145-5p were identified from the DEGs, and their potential functions and protein-protein interactions (PPIs) were analyzed. The mRNA expressions of acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta (ACACB), fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit a (PPP3CA) and spleen associated tyrosine kinase (SYK), were analyzed via quantitative polymerase chain reaction. A total of 1,501 upregulated and 887 downregulated genes were identified in the hsa-miR-145-5p-overexpressed Tu-177 cells, compared with the NC cells. Of these DEGs, 164 upregulated and 221 downregulated genes were predicted to be targeted by hsa-miR-145-5p. The upregulated target genes were primarily associated with functions of immunity, whereas the downregulated target genes were significantly enriched in the p53 signaling pathway. In the PPI network consisting of 267 target genes, the upregulated ACACB had the greatest degree and interacted with downregulated genes including PPP3CA and SYK, in addition to upregulated genes, including FGFR1. The mRNA expressions of ACACB and FGFR1 were markedly enhanced in miR-145-5p-overexpressed Tu-177 cells, whereas overexpressing miR-145-5p significantly reduced mRNA expression of PPP3CA and SYK. hsa-miR-145-5p may exhibit an anticancer role in LSCC via regulating multiple cell processes, including cell proliferation and invasion, fatty acid metabolism, immunity and p53 signaling pathway. These findings provide novel information for the future investigation of miR-145-5p functions in LSCC.
