Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and carcinoma in-situ (CIS) frequently form the interface facing non-cancerous epithelium. I hypothesized cell competition might be occurred between cancer and non-cancerous cells in this interface. Thus, I investigated this interface histopathologically and performed proteomic analysis using LC-MS/MS. In histological analysis, apoptotic bodies, hyaline bodies, and other morphological changes suggesting cell damage were frequently observed in the cancer side adjacent to the interface. From proteomic analysis, 7 proteins, specifically increasing or decreasing in the cancer or non-cancerous sides adjacent to the interface, were identified. These proteins may be involved in cell competition between oral SCC/CIS cells and non-cancerous cells.
