MAPK kinase 1 (MEK1) is involved in the development and cisplatin (DDP) resistance of various tumors. Abnormal miR-195 expression is associated with oral cancer. Bioinformatics analysis revealed a relationship between miR-195 and MEK1. This study investigated whether miR-195 affects oral cancer cells through MEK1. The DDP-resistant cell OSCC-15/DDP was separated into miR-NC group and miR-195 mimic group followed by analysis of the expression of MEK1, p-MEK1 and p-ERK1/2 protein by Western blot, cell apoptosis and proliferation by flow cytometry. MEK1 mRNA is the target gene of miR-195. miR-195 was significantly lower in OSCC-15/DDP cells than OSCC-15 cells and human normal oral epithelial cells (HOEC) cells. MEK1 was significantly upreg-ulated in OSCC-15/DDP cells compared to OSCC-15 cells and HOEC cells. miR-195 mimic significantly elevated miR-195 in OSC-15/DDP cells, downregulated MEK1, p-MEK1 and p-ERK1/2 protein, promoted apoptosis and inhibited cell proliferative ability. miR-195 is related to oral cancer cell DDP resistance and upregulation of miR-195 down-regulates MEK1 expression and reduces DDP resistance.
