Outline of Final Research Achievements |
High malignancy oral squamous cell carcinomas with distance metastasis (DM) and carcinomas with localized cervical lymph node metastasis (LLM) were subjected to microarray analysis. DM and LLM were relatively clearly discriminated by cluster analysis, and the both groups demonstrated wide distribution on the second component in primary component analysis. Much number of genes related to DNA methylation, chromosomal function, and nuclear showed upregulation with DM, and many of genes related to the epithelial differentiation are mainly found in the down regulated gene group with DM.
