The effect of fluvastatin sodium on MMP-9 expression in tongue squamous carcinoma Tca81 1 3 cells / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of fluvastatin sodium (FS ) on MMP-9 expression in tongue squamous carcinoma Tca81 1 3 cells.Methods:Immunofluorescence method and Western blot were used to detect the level of MMP-9 expression in Tca81 1 3 cells treated by different concentration of FS for 24 h,the data were statistically analyzed.Results:MMP-9 expression in FS treated cells was significantly reduced(P<0.05)compared with control cells.With FS concentration increase the protein expression decreased in a dose-dependant manner detected by the 2 mothods.Conclusion:Fluvastatin Sodium can dose-dependantly inhibit the expression level of MMP-9 in Tca81 1 3 cells.
