| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to examine the expression of microRNA (miRNA) that exists in oral cancer tissues and serum, and is non-coding RNA regulating expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and to investigate the possibility to become a biomarker of oral cancer.
The microRNA expression was examined using microarray for primary tumor, metastatic tumor, cultured tumor cells (OSCC) derived from lymph node metastasis, and serum of the first visit of the same tongue cancer patient. Consequently, it was found that miR-365a-5p and miR-4756-5p were down-regulated in all samples as compared to oral keratinocyte as control, and strongly involved in growth and invasiveness of OSCC. These results indicated that these two miRs are potent biomarker of oral cancer.
