Outline of Final Research Achievements |
SCCKN and alpha2-AP transfectants were subcutaneously inoculated into the nude mice. E-cadherin on cell membrane of xenograft from alpha2-AP transfectants was increased compared to SCCKN. Moreover, beta-catenin increased on cell membrane of xenograft from alpha2-AP transfectants. These findings suggest that the suppression of the plasminogen activator/plasmin system by alpha2-AP might reduce the dissemination of OSCC cells. Therefore, it could be expected the development of gene therapy for invasiveness and metastasis of OSCC cells with induction of alpha2-AP into OSCC tissue.
