Notch signaling plays a key role in a wide variety of human tumors; it can be an oncogene or a tumor-suppressor gene depending on the tissue context. The functions of Notch1 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) are largely unknown. We investigated the role of Notch1 in LSCC cell growth, apoptosis and metastasis. We analyzed Notch1 expression in clinical LSCC samples using quantum dot immunohistochemistry (QD-IHC) and conventional IHC. Human laryngeal carcinoma HEp-2 cells were transfected with Notch1-specific short hairpin RNA (shRNA), and cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration and invasion were evaluated using the cell counting assay, flow cytometry and wound healing and Transwell assays, respectively; western blotting was used to validate the expression of Notch1 target genes. Compared with normal tissues, Notch1 was upregulated in LSCC tissues; compared with LSCC tissues without metastasis, Notchl upregulation was enhanced in LSCC tissues with metastasis (P
