Basic transcription factor 3 (BTF3), a transcription factor and modulator of apoptosis, is differentially expressed in carcinoma. To acquire further understanding of the involvement of BTF3 in carcinoma, the present study analyzed the expression of BTF3, as well as its role in cell function in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). BTF3 transcription rates in human NPC samples (n=46) and adjacent normal tissue samples (n=46) were analyzed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. BTF3-silencing in NPC cells was performed via specific small interfering RNA molecules. The function of BTF3 was analyzed by proliferation assays and colony forming assays using a Cellomic assay system. The positive expression rates of BTF3 were significantly increased in cancerous tissues compared with those in adjacent tissues (P
