| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The molecular mechanism of invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma still remains unknown. To understand what sort of crosstalk between cancer cells and surrounding non-cancerous epithelial cells or stromal cells, we performed proteome analyses of laser-capture microdissected samples obtained from the interfaces between cancer cell nests and their surrounding non-cancerous epithelium of the oral mucosa or stromal tissues, which were objectively visualized by the aid of immunohistochemistry. As a result, we have determined proteins which were specifically expressed at both cancer and non-cancer sides of the interface zone. They were immunohistochemically identified to be expressed more in cancer or non-cancer sides. Thus, these newly identified molecules are considered to function in regulating squamous cell carcinoma cells to start to invade. It is expected to understand the machinery of cancer invasion when these molecules are investigated more in detail.
