Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the involvement of YAP signaling in the cellular atypia observed in the early stages of oral squamous cell carcinoma and its molecular mechanism. It was suggested that YAP signaling was activated from the carcinoma in situ lesion and YAP signaling might be involved in nuclear enlargement and EMT.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では発癌の初期段階でみられる異型が誘導されるメカニズムを解明しよと企図している。YAPシグナルが上皮内癌から活性化し、異型やEMTに関与する可能性を見出したことは、学術的な意義が高い。加えて、異型やEMTが誘導される分子病理学的な解明は新規口腔癌治療法の開発の一助となり、社会的な意義も高い。
