| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aims at the establishment of anti-invasion/metastasis therapy against oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). OSCC of the tongue and oral floor were examined for expression of integrin-linked kainase (ILK), laminin 5, hypoxia-induced factor 1α (HIF 1α) and Her3/ErbB3. ILK was overexpressed in 67% of OSCC, and it was localized on cell membrane or in cytoplasm of cancer cells. Since ILK did not co-localized with laminin 5 in most of tumors, it was likely that ILK did not mediate the out-in signal via α3β1 integrin. When ILK overexression was compared with T classification, invasion pattern of cancer cells and treatment outcome, no clear correlations were observed between ILK and all of these factors. In conclusion, no molecular basis of the possibility of a novel molecular therapy targeting ILK has not been obtained yet.
