Abstract

Distant-organ metastasis and regional lymph node metastasis are still the major cause of mortality of oral-cavity squamous-cell cancer (SCC). However, only a few studies have been undertaken to elucidate the mechanism of invasion and metastasis of oral SCC. In this study, we attempted to establish human oral SCC clones with different invasiveness, defined by endothelial cell monolayer assay, which can be used for the study of invasion and metastasis of oral SCC. We established five clones from the human oral SCC cell line SAS by a limiting-dilution method. Two distinct clones, SAS-L1 with very low invasive potential and SAS-H1 with very high invasive potential, were picked out by rat lung endothelial cell monolayer assay. The number of SAS-H1 that penetrated the rat lung endothelial cell monolayer was six fold higher than the number of SAS-L1. There were no differences of metalloproteinase production and cell adhesiveness to Matrigel of SAS-L1 and SAS-H1. However, SAS-H1 exhibited a higher migration ability than SAS-L1. This pair of clones would be a useful experimental model to help in the study of the invasiveness of human oral SCC.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
