| Research Abstract |
In order to study invasion mechanism of oral cancer, I mainly used ACCS line derived from adenoid cystic carcinoma (ADCC).
The findings obtained from the present projedt are :
1. ACCS cells produce uPA, MMP-2 and MMP-9, and can degrade condiderable amount of ECM elaborated by normal mesenchymal cells, through mainly uPA-plasmin cascade.
ACCS cells vigorously produce extracellular matorix (ECM), including fibronectin, laminin, and type IV collagen. the ACCS-ECM is resistant to degradation by its own proteolytic enzymes because of the presence of abundant PAI-1 in the ECM.
ACCS-ECM promotes haptotactic motility of ACCS cells.
Chemotactic response of ACCS cells to laminin and type cancer cells suggesting relation to a special proclivity of ADCC cells to invade nerve and endothelial sheaths.
EGF causes enhancement of cell migration and uPA production.
Dezamethasone causes inhibition of cell migration and uPA production but enhancement of PAI-1
ECM-induced migration is inhibited by monoclonal antibodies against integrins.
A factor purified from conditioned medium with human fibroblasts, which is heaprin-unbinded protein, enhances chemotactic migration of cancer cells.
Another one from fibroblasts enhances protease production by cancer cells.
