Abstract:
Background and purpose:The cortical actin-binding protein,cortactin,participates in several functions in the cytoskeleton system,cellular signal transduction and cell adhesion.There is also increasing evidence that it regulates tumor invasion and metastasis.However,the role played by cortactin in laryngeal carcinoma has not been clearly delineated.The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of silencing cortactin expression on the proliferation and invasion in the human laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2.Methods:A plasmid from a siRNA targeting cortactin was constructed and transfected into a Hep-2 cell line.The siRNA interference efficiency of cortactin was determined by Western blot.The proliferation was measured by MTT assay and plate colony formation. The Transwell test was used to detect the migration and invasion ability of the Hep-2 cells.Empty plasmid-transfected Hep-2 and normal Hep-2 were used as control groups.Results:Compared to Hep-2 cells,the cortactin expression of pSilencer3.1-cortactin-siRNA/Hep-2 was 11.22%(P
