Research Abstract |
We immunohistochemically observed expression of various kinds of cytokines related to osteoclastic differentiation in human squamous cell carcioma of the lower gum. Over-expression of RANKL or OPG could be barely seen in cancer cells, although PTHrP was slightly expressed. The relationship between type of bone invasion and expression of them has failed to clarify. Using oral squamous cancer cell lines, over-expression of MMP9 or periostin was strongly observed in high invasive cell line (HSC4) compared with low invasive cell line (HSC3). Apoptosis was induced in HSC4 cells with low dose bisphosphonate. Moreover, induction of apoptosis in cell line was enhanced by addition to Ca.
