Abstract: Objective: To investigate the expression and significance of E-cadherin mRNA in the rat tongue carcinogenesis. Methods: 4NQO Drinking Water Act was used to induce tongue squamous cell carcinoma of rat. The mRNA expression level of E-cadherin was analyzed by q-RT-PCR. Results: The mRNA expression of E-cadherin was down-regulated in the rat tongue carcinogenesis. In the epithelial hyperplasia tissues, mild epithelial dysplasia tissues, moderate to severe epithelial dysplasia tissues and squamous cell carcinoma tissues, E-cadherin mRNA level was 0.453541, 0.207062, 0.190954, 0.180987 times by the normal epithelial tissues, respectively. The differences between squamous cell carcinoma group and normal epithelial group were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: With the increase of pathological grade, E-cadherin mRNA expression showed a decreasing trend. The change of E-cadherin mRNA expression was an early event in rat tongue mucosa carcinogenesis.
