Objective To explore the effectiveness of Ovol2 gene for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to offer some theory evidences for the targeted therapy in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods A549 cells were treated with control and Ovol2 overexpressioned by lentivirus infection. Real-time PCR were performed to test the mRNA level of genes correlated to EMT. Western Blot was performed for protein level of the following makers:E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, ect. Moreover, we tested the migration and invasion ability of A549 cells by transwell and wound healing experiment. Results After treated with Ovol2 overexpressed, the expression level of E-cadherin raised, while the expression level of N-cadherin, vimentin and Twist1 declined in both mRNA and protein expression level. The results of wound healing and transwell experiment indicated that the migration and invasion ability of A549 cells weakened. Conclusion Overexpression of Ovol2 gene can suppress the distant metastasis ability and invasion ability of A549 cells by inhibiting the EMT.
