Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of c-myc silence on MMPs expression and invasion of immortalized ameloblastoma cell line hTERT+-AM.

Methods

Functional characteristics of immortalized ameloblastoma cell line hTERT+-AM with stable c-myc silence included migration, invasion, and regulation of matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2, MMP-9 by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. All data were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software package.

Results

After gene silencing of c-myc in hTERT+-AM cells, the mRNA relative expression of c-myc, MMP-2 and MMP-9 was (0.41 ± 0.02) , (0.79 ± 0.05) and (0.76 ± 0.01) respectively, declined by about 60% (LSD-t=-0.591, P<0.001) and 20% (LSD-tMMP-2=-0.206, LSD-tMMP-9=-0.242, P<0.001) , the protein expression of c-myc, MMP-2 and MMP-9 was reduced by about 50% (LSD-tc-myc=-0.461, LSD-tMMP-2=-0.257, LSD-tMMP-9=-0.261, P<0.001) , the capacity of migration (±s=24.9 ± 4.5, LSD-t=-17.000, P= 0.021) and invasion (±s=10.8 ± 4.1, LSD-t=-22.250, P= 0.011) was decreased.

Conclusions

Silence of c-myc gene significantly inhibits MMPs expression and cell invasive ability of hTERT+-AM cells, suggesting c-myc may be a new target for ameloblastoma treatment.
