Background/Aim: We evaluated the impact of FosL1, a member of the activated protein-1 family, on the pathways leading to regional metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Materials and Methods: We examined the influence of small interfering RNA (siRNA) and short heparin RNA (shRNA) mediated knockdown of FosL1 on cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in vitro as well as on regional metastasis in vivo. The prognostic significance of FosL1 was also analyzed using the Kaplan- Meier plotter using data from an HNSCC patient database. Results: Down-regulation of FosL1 inhibited cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in vitro, decreased the incidence of regional metastases, and prolonged the survival of mice in vivo. We also determined that HNSCC patients with higher expression levels of FosL1 had a significantly shorter survival time than those with low expression of FosL1. Conclusion: FosL1 plays a crucial role in promoting cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in HNSCC.
