Project description:Common overexpressing genes were identified in all human oral squamous cell carcinoma tissues and/or cultured cells. Ten oral squamous cell carcinoma tissues and 10 human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines were analyzed. Three normal oral mucosa tissues and a human non-neoplastic keratinocyte cell lines were used as control samples.
Project description:Tobacco exposure has been established to be a major risk factor for developing oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The purpose of this study is to identify potential biomarkers to distinguish the biological effectsof combustible tobacco products from that of non-combustible tobacco products using normal human gingival epithelial cells (HGEC), non-metastatic (101A) and metastatic (101B) OSCC cell lines.
