| Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated the Hh signaling transduction pathway and signal inhibition in the oral squamous cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical method showed high expression of Shh and Ptch1. Culture cells showed high expression of Shh and SMO protein. RealTime PCR showed that the expressions of Hh signaling factors were inhibited by cyclopamine. These findings suggest that the possibility of novel treatment targeting in oral cancer by Hh signal inhibition.
