| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we try to detect oral cancer stem cell and clear that a part of cancer cell which gain invasion ability, express "Snail" molecule, indicates epithelial to mesenchymal transition and changes into the favorable character of invasion and metastasis.
First, cDNA of human Snail was included in expression vector for culture cell of mammals and gene was introduced into tongue cancer cell line (HSC4). when Snail molecule was introduced into HSC4 cells that was cobblestone-shaped form, which changes into the spindle-shaped form, and atttached weakly between cell to cell.Next, cultured HSC4 and HSC4/Snail cells were transplanted under the back of nude mice. For 3 months of transplantation and the size of the formed tumor were estimated. Tumorogenesis similar to human squamous cell carcinoma which is the history of HSC4 was seen, and Snail participated in promotion of tumorogenesis.
