| Research Abstract |
Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant salivary gland tumor characterized by perineural and perivascular invasion. In this study, we found that MMP9 and MMP14 were associated with the invasion mechanism of adenoid cystic carcinoma. In addition, the expression of VEGF was found in the adenoid cystic carcinoma cells, and it was suggested that VEGF induced angiogenesis at peritumoral stroma. Furthermore, it might be thought that semaphorins, which were known as the neuron guidance factor, were associated with the invasion mechanism of adenoid cystic carcinoma.
