    Abstract

    OBJECTIVE:

    To study the expression of perlecan in human laryngeal carcinoma cells and its significance.

    METHOD:

    The expression of perlecan mRNA in human laryngeal carcinoma cells, Hep-2 cells were investigated by using the techniques of semi-quantify RT-PCR. The expression of perlecan in the Hep-2 cells was investigated by using the techniques of immunohistochemistry.

    RESULT:

    It showed that the expression level of perlecan and perlecan mRNA significantly increased in Hep-2 cells as compared with the normal cells, Hacat cells (P < 0.01).

    CONCLUSION:

    These data raise the possibility that perlecan many play key roles in the growth,invasion and metastasis of human laryngeal carcinoma cells through either a paracrine or an autocrine mechanism.
