Outline of Final Research Achievements

We observed submandibular gland of irradiated mouse decreased α-amylase, EGF, EGFR, HGF, c-Met, bFGF and FGFR. The stem-like cell of mouse submandibular gland showed similar findings to them with exposure to radiation. From the results of these experiments, we induced regeneration of the stem-like cell suffered from radiation damage and demonstrated EGF, KGF and type IV collagen play an important role in function recovery.
To clear its mechanism, we require further research.
