Effects of VEGF and DEX on MMP-9 expression and motility of Tca-8113 cell / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective:To investigate the effects of indicated concentrations VEGF and DEX on MMP-9 expression and motility of Tca-8113 cell. Methods:Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR methods were used to detect protein and mRNA changes of MMP-9 in tongue squamous cell with VEGF and DEX treatment. Cell motility was also observed with Transwell incubation.Results:The level of protein and mRNA of MMP-9 as well as cell motility increased with indicated concentrations VEGF(1,5,10 ng/ml) in a dose dependent way(P
