Description

Expression levels of CENP-F mRNA were investigated in 45 surgically resected oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) and 10 samples of normal gingiva, using real time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR). The relations between CENP-F mRNA and clinicopathologic variables were studied. The mean expression level of CENP-F mRNA was higher in OSCC tissues than in normal gingiva. There was a significant correlation between the expression level of CENP-F mRNA and lymph node metastasis in the cases of OSCC (p=0.024). These results suggest that OSCC with a high expression level of CENP-F mRNA has high metastatic potential.
