| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Oral squamous cell carcinoma frequently invades into the maxilla and the mandible, and that is associated with a worse prognosis. Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling contributes to the development, we found that SHH was not expressed in normal oral gingiva, but highly expressed in tumor cells that had invaded the bone matrix. On the other hand, the hedgehog receptor and the signaling molecule were highly expressed in the osteoclasts and the progenitor cells. SHH stimulated osteoclast formation and pit formation, and the GPCR is involved in the signaling.
