Research Abstract |
In the present study, to identify novel molecules associated with the 5-FU resistance of OSCC, we established a 5-FU-resistant OSCC cell line over a 2-year period, and found that an overexpression of cIAP2 confers 5-FU resistance in the cells. Furthermore, an immunohistochemical analysis using OSCC patient tissue samples demonstrated that increased expression of cIAP2 resulted in enhanced resistance to 5-FU-based chemoradiotherapy and a poor prognosis.
