Abstract: Objective: To study the effect of eIF4E siRNA on adhesion and movement ability of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells. Methods: Tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line SCC25 was infected targeting eIF4E interferred lentivirus. The effect of silence was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Cell proliferation and adhesion were detected by MTT assay. Cell motility was detected by scratch healing test. Cell invasion and migration were measured by Transwell chamber. The expression of N-cadherin, E-cadherin, and matrix degrading enzyme MMP-9 and MMP-2 proteins were detected by Western blot. Results: The levels of eIF4E mRNA and protein expression in SCC25 cells infected with eIF4E interfered with lentivirus were decreased. After silencing eIF4E, the proliferation activity of SCC25 cells was decreased, cell adhesion, cell motility, and the ability to invasion and migration were decreased, the level of E-cadherin protein in the epithelial marker was elevated, the level of N-cadherin protein in the interstitial marker was reduced, and the levels of MMP-9 and MMP-2 protein protein in the cells were decreased. Conclusion: eIF4E siRNA can downregulate the expression of eIF4E in tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells, and inhibit the adhesion, movement, invasion, and migration of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells.
