| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed to master treatment resistant cancer stem cells in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Firstly, we developed cisplatin-resistant oral squamous cell carcinoma cells that were maintained with media including cisplatin chemo reagent. In the results, the cisplatin-resistant oral squamous cell carcinoma cells held resistance characteristics not only to cisplatin but also to 5FU, doxorubicin, and other chemo reagents. Furthermore, when we analyzed characteristics of cancer stem-like cells in the multidrug-resistant oral squamous cell carcinoma cell, expression levels of CD44-which is known as a marker of cancer stem cells-were increased. Furthermore, expression levels of ABCG2, which is known as an ABC transporter, were also increased, and the function of drug ejection was elevated. These results indicated there are correlations between the acquisition of multi-drug resistance, the function of drug ejection, and cancer stem marker CD44.
