| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
1. Two clonal cell lines, HSC3-C13 and HSC3-C17, were isolated from the maternal oral cancer cell line, HSC3. The conditioned medium from HSC3-C13 cells showed the highest induction of Rankl expression in the mouse stromal cell lines ST2 and UAMS-32 as compared to that in maternal HSC3 cells and HSC3-C17 cells. Gene expression was compared between HSC3-C13 and HSC3-C17 cells by using microarray analysis, which showed that CXCL2 gene was highly expressed in HSC3-C13 cells as compared to HSC3-C17 cells. These results indicate that CXCL2 is involved in bone destruction induced by oral cancer.
2. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) plays a significant role in the regulation of the tumor microenvironment. We investigated the role of TGF-b in oral cancer-induced bone destruction.We show that both cancer cells and stromal cells produce TGF-b in the OSCC-induced bone destruction, and propose the role of TGF-b produced by stromal fibroblasts in such bone destruction.
