Characterization and Comparative Analysis of Gene Expression Profiles of Three Different Human Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines With Different Invasion and Metastatic Capacities

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP’s) and cathepsins are thought to play key roles in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) invasion and metastasis. Three OSCC human cell lines, BHY, HN and HSC-3, have been studied based on their reported ability to invade adjacent bone or metastasize to lymph nodes and/o...
