| Research Abstract |
Oral cancer cells are exists with various non-cancerous stromal cells including inflammatory cells, and fibroblasts, and such stromal cells are referred as tumor microenvironment. It is thought that the cancer cell acquires some malignant phenotype through the cancer cell-stromal cell interactions in the microenvironment. To obtain the new material to evaluate the cancer cell-stromal cell interactions in the mouse model, we created the modified carcinogenesis model using chemical carcinogen. We also created the transgenic mouse that expresses fluorescent protein in the basal cells. Using this transgenic mouse in the carcinogenesis mouse model, it would be able for us to obtain the fluorescence protein expressing abnormal cells. In the immunohistochemical study using human tongue cancer tissue specimens, we revealed the up-regulation of invasion related protein in the cancer cell-macrophage direct interaction.
