Outline of Final Research Achievements

We used QR-32 cells in this study which is a regressive murine fibrosarcoma cell clone; and QRsP-11, a progressive malignant tumor cell clone originated from QR-32. CALR is a Ca2+-binding protein. This study was aimed to determine the usefulness of CALR as a prognostic factor in patients with oral cancers. Our findings suggest that elevated expression of CALR might play an important role in tumor progression in oral cancer, and could be considered as a useful prognostic factor in oral cancer patients. Next, we tried to investigate the functions of CALR in oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines by using CALR-siRNA. We transfected CALR-siRNA into HSC2 and HSC3 cells. Down-regulation of CALR resulted in growth inhibition and lower cell migration on HSC2 and HSC3. These results suggest that down-regulation of CALR expressions might conductive to the reduction of OSCC malignancy.Our data suggested that CALR may be a new predictive factor for malignant alteration of oral cancer.
