Abstract: Objective: To investigate the expression and significance of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC). Methods: 59 cases of SACC specimens and 42 cases of normal salivary gland tissues were collected. The expression of ILK and MMP-9 in SACC and normal tissues were detected by using QRT-PCR technology. Results: The mRNA expression levels of ILK and MMP-9 were significantly higher in SACC tissues than those in control group (P<0.05), and they were positively correlated in SACC tissues (r=0.586, P=0.000). The expression of ILK and MMP-9 in SACC tissues were correlated with disease subtype, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of ILK and MMP-9 in entity and tubular type were obviously higher than sieve-like type (P<0.05). Conclusion: Up-regulation of ILK and MMP-9 may synergistically promote the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells in SACC.
