Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of cyclin B1(CCNB1)gene on the proliferation,invasion and migration of oral squamous cell carcinoma.Methods Quantitative real-time fluorescent PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the expression of CCNB1 gene in human normal oral epithelial HOK cell line and human oral squamous cell carcinoma SCC-15,SCC-4 and Gal-27 cell lines.CCNB1 siRNA(si-CCNB1)and negative control(si-NC)were transfected into SCC-15 cells.At the same time,blank control(Control)was set.qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of CCNB1 in each group of SCC-15 cells.MTT,Transwell and Scratch assays were used to detect the effects of silencing CCNB1 on the proliferation,invasion and migration of SCC-15 cells.Western blot was used to detect the expression of MMP-2,MMP-9,PI3K,Akt and p-Akt in SCC-15 cells.Results The expression of CCNB1 in oral squamous carcinoma cells was significantly higher than that in normal oral epithelial cells(P<0.05).The expression of CCNB1 mRNA and protein in SCC-15 cells in the si-NC group was not different from that of the control group(P>0.05),The expression of CCNB1 mRNA and protein in the si-CCNB1 group was significantly lower than that in the si-NC group and control group(P<0.05),The proliferation,invasion and migration ability of SCC-15 cells in the si-NC group and the expression of MMP-2,MMP-9,PI3K,Akt and p-Akt in the si-NC group were not significantly different from those in the control group(P>0.05).The cell proliferation,invasive and migratory abilities,and the expressions of MMP-2,MMP-9,PI3K and p-Akt in the si-CCNB1 group were significantly lower than those in the si-NC group and control group(P<0.05).There was no difference in the expression of Akt protein between the si-CCNB1 and si-NC groups(P>0.05).Conclusion CCNB1 is highly expressed in oral squamous carcinoma cells.Silencing CCNB1 gene can inhibit the proliferation,invasion and migration of human oral squamous carcinoma SCC-15 cells.The mechanism may be related to the inhibitory activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
