Objective To investigate the effect of silencing integrin-linked kinase (ILK) on the proliferation
migration and invasion of human tongue squamous cancer TCA8113 cells. Methods ILK siRNA expression plasmid and a non-homologous vector (negative control) were transferred into TCA8113 cells
respectively. Then the transfected cells were screened and identified. MTT assay
wound healing experiment and transwell assay were employed to measure cell proliferation
migration and invasion. The expression of p-Akt
p-GSK3β and Snail was detected by Western blotting. Results Inhibition of ILK expression obviously suppressed TCA8113 cell proliferation
migration and invasion
as well as down-regulated the expression of p-Akt
p-GSK3β and Snail. The inhibitory rates at 48
72
96 and 120 h were 17%
29%
25% and 42% in TCA8113 siILK group
respectively. The migration capacity was decreased by 67% and 66% compared with the other two control groups. The invasion capacity was decreased by 67% and 68% compared with the other two control groups. The expression of p-Akt
p-GSK3β and Snail was decreased by 45% and 53%
57% and 61%
74% and 73%
compared with the other two control groups
respectively. Conclusion Silencing ILK inhibits the proliferation
migration and invasion of TCA8113 cells through Akt/GSK3β/Snail-dependent pathway. ILK can be a therapeutic target protein for tongue cancer.
