RBM24 Mediates Lymph Node Metastasis and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Human Hypopharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Regulating Twist1.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Despite the target RNA regulatory action of RBM24 (RNA Binding Motif 24), a protein implicated in multiple carcinomas, its role in HSCC remains unclear. Our study probed to understand the effect of RBM24 on HSCC.

Materials and methods

A combination of qRT-PCR, IHC, and western blot was employed to assess the HSCC tissue level of RBM24. The colony formation and CCK-8 assays were performed to estimate cellular proliferative potential, whereas the transwell assay was conducted to examine invasive and metastatic potential. The FaDu cell motility was assessed via the scratch-wound assay and EMT (epithelial-mesenchymal transition) by adopting qRT-PCR in conjunction with western blot and IF (immunofluorescence). The in-vivo effect of RBM24 on HSCC was investigated through
