The invention provides an application of FGF4 (
fibroblast growth factor 4) as a
drug target in treatment of enameloblastoma, relates to the technical field of biological medicines, finds a
potential effect of the FGF4 in the enameloblastoma for the first time, proves an inhibition effect of the FGF4 on
tumor growth, proves that the FGF4 can be used as a treatment target of the enameloblastoma, and proves that the FGF4
gene is knocked down in an enameloblastoma
cell line, so that the
treatment effect on the enameloblastoma is obviously improved.
Cell proliferation,
cell migration,
cell invasion and cell
colony formation can be inhibited; in an
animal body, the FGF4
gene is knocked down to inhibit the growth of the enameloblastoma, which shows that the FGF4 has the effect of regulating and controlling the growth of the enameloblastoma, and the FGF4 inhibitor can inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and cell
colony formation of an enameloblastoma cell line and inhibit the growth of the enameloblastoma. A new treatment target is provided for prevention and / or treatment of the glamoblastoma, and the application has a wide clinical application value.
