Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Gingival oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)frequently invade the maxilla or the mandibular bone and are associated with poor prognosis. Thus, we investigated whether the novel NFkB inhibitors suppress bone invasion by OSCC. NF-kB inhibitors suppress proliferation and stimulate apoptosis of OSCC cells in vitro and in vivo. NF-kB inhibitors also inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) production in OSCC. Furthermore, NF-kB inhibitors have been shown to suppress osteoclastogenesis by reducing RANKL expression in animal models. Thus, inhibition of NF-kB activity may constitute a promising therapeutic approach to treat bone-invasive OSCC
