Abstrakt: Purpose: CDH11, as a member of cadherins, mediates homotypic cell adhesion. Some studies have shown that CDH11 plays an important role in the development of tumors, especially in the processes of tumor invasion and metastasis. While features of CDH11 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) are still indeterminate, the purpose of the present study is to explore the role of CDH11 in TSCC. Methods: The expression of cadherin gene in a TSCC cell line with high metastatic potential (LN4) and the parental CAL27 were examined both in the TCGA database and in collected clinical samples, further verified by quantitative real-time PCR. The effects of CDH11 on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and adhesion were tested in appropriate ways after CDH11 was overexpressed in TSCC cells. Results: Among the 22 cadherin genes, CDH11 was one of the most obviously inhibited genes in LN4 cells as compared with the parental cells. Overexpression of CDH11 did not show a significant effect on cell proliferation, apoptosis, stemness, migration and invasion ability of TSCC cells themselves, but it increased the adhesion of TSCC cells with human oral epithelial cells and decreased their ability to pass through human oral epithelial cells (HOECs) for migration. Conclusion: The results indicated that CDH11 plays as a tumor suppressor in tongue squamous cell carcinoma by inhibiting the invasion and migration of tongue cancer cells. CDH11 may serve as an effective clinical target for new tongue cancer treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
