Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Physiologically, in bone remodeling, the source of RANKL is osteoblast and osteocyte. However, we hypothesized that RANKL expression derived from gingival epithelial carcinoma cells may be increased in gingival cancer. As a result, overexpression of MICA in gingival epithelial carcinoma cells induced RANKL expression and the supernatant of these cells promoted osteoclastogenesis.
