| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examined the expression of MICA proten in cell extracts using the Western Blot and the expression of MICA mRNA using Northern Blot in OSCC cell lines. We found expression of MICA mRNA in all OSCC cell lines, and expression of MICA proten in KO cell lines was lowest. The soluble MICA (sMICA) in conditioned medium was measured by ELISA and we found the high level of sMICA in KO cells. As we have purified sMICA produced by KO cells, the molecular weight of sMICA produced by KO cells was 24,000. Furthemore, TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 was concentration-dependent manner to promote the production of sMICA. Expression of cell surface MICA protein was enhanced and production of sMICA into the culture supernatant was significantly suppressed in KO cells transfected with TGF-β1/2 siRNA.
