Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we aim to develop a novel diagnostic and therapeutic method targeting cancer stem cells in human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and developed a specific carbohydrate structure expressed on the cell surface of undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells We analyzed the cell and molecular biological characteristics of rBC2 LCN-recognizing carbohydrate positive cell group isolated from human oral squamous-cell carcinoma-derived cell line using rBC2LCN which recognizes lectin. Furthermore, we clarified a niche mechanism controlling self-renewal ability and differentiation ability, clarify its cell / molecular biological characteristics through identification of cytokine network molecule / signal group necessary for maintaining niche function, We aim to establish diagnostic and therapeutic methods for new cancer targeting stem cells.
