Objective:To investigate the effect of over or low expression of cell adhesion molecule-1(CADM1) on the malignant be-havior of human bladder cancer T24 cells. Methods:The stable expression cells of Ad-CADM1-T24,Ad-GFP1-T24,Ad-sh1-T24,Ad-GFP2-T24 were established before and were used in this study,and T24 cell was used as control. Western blot was used to detect the cell cycle-related protein p27,cyclinD1,cyclinE1,CDK2;and EMT-related protein E-cadherin,β-catenin,Vimentin;and apopto-sis-related protein caspase-3,bcl-2,bax. MTT was used to detect the cell reproductive capacity;and Transwell invasion was used to detect cell invasion ability. Results:Compared with other cells,in Ad-CADM1-T24 cell line,Western blot results showed that the ex-pressions of apoptosis-related protein caspase-3 and bax were increased,while those of bcl-2 were decreased;the expressions of cell cycle-related protein p27 were increased,while those of cyclinD1,CDK2 and cyclinE1 were decreased;the expressions of EMT-related protein E-cadherin and β-catenin were increased,while those of Vimentin were decreased. And the results of MTT showed that the cell proliferation was significantly inhibited in Ad-CADM1-T24 cell line,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). And the results of Transwell invasion showed that the number of cell membranes was significantly reduced in 24 h in Ad-CADM1-T24 cell line,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). Conclusion:Overexpression of CADM1 can significantly inhibit the invasion and metastasis of bladder cancer cells,the mechanism may be associated with inhibition of cell proliferation and EMT and promoting apoptosis.
