摘要: 目的:探究血管生成素样蛋白4(ANGPTL4)在舌癌进展及淋巴结转移中的分子机制,以期为舌癌的治疗提供新的分子靶点。方法:使用小干扰RNA(siRNA)沉默Tca8113细胞中的ANGPTL4基因,实时荧光定量PCR检验转染效率,通过CCK-8、Transwell和划痕实验确定ANGPTL4沉默后Tca8113细胞的生物学行为变化。实时荧光定量PCR和Western blot实验检测细胞上皮间充质转化(EMT)相关指标的表达变化。结果:与空白对照组相比,siRNA沉默ANGPTL4后,细胞的增殖显著降低(P<0.01),且细胞迁移能力明显减弱(P<0.05)。与EMT相关的钙黏蛋白(Ecadherin)上调,波形蛋白(Vimentin)、盘装结构域受体1(DDR1)、锌指结合蛋白(ZEB-1)的表达下调。结论:沉默ANGPTL4可以降低Tca8113细胞间黏附,促进Tca8113细胞的迁移和EMT,ANGPTL4可为舌癌淋巴结转移的关键靶点。

Abstract: Objective:?To explore the molecular mechanism of ANGPTL4 in the progression and lymph node metastasis of tongue cancer, in order to provide a new molecular target for the treatment of tongue cancer.. Methods:?The ANGPTL4 gene in tongue cancer cells was silenced by small interfering RNA (siRNA). The transfection efficiency was tested by qRT-PCR. The biological behavior of tongue cancer cells after ANGPTL4 silencing was determined by CCK-8, Transwell and scratch experiments. The expressions of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition(EMT)related markers were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. Results:?After silencing ANGPTL4 by siRNA, the proliferation was significantly reduced (P<0.01) and migration ability of tongue cancer cells was weakened (P<0.05). The expression of downstream related genes of EMT, E-cadherin was up-regulated and DDR1, Vimentin, ZEB-1 were down-regulated. Conclusions:?Silencing ANGPTL4 can enhance the adhesion between tongue cancer cells, thereby reducing the migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of tongue cancer cells. ANGPTL4 may be a key target for lymph node metastasis of tongue cancer.
