Résumé
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of large tumor suppressor homolog 2 (LATS2) gene overexpression on the proliferation and apoptosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).@*METHODS@#Lentivirous particles were transferred into SCC-25 cell to upregulate LATS2 gene expression. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. Apoptosis was detected through flow cytometry. The expression changes of Bax, Bcl-2, and LATS2 were analyzed by Western blot.@*RESULTS@#Gene transfection increased LATS2 expression. Compared with the control group and pEGFP-control group, SCC-25 cell proliferation in the pGFP-LATS2 group was inhibited, whereas the apoptosis ratio increased (P<0.05). Bcl-2 expression decreased, and Bax expression increased.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Overexpression of LATS2 could inhibit SCC-25 cell proliferation and induce apoptosis.
