Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study was undertaken to identify the genes in response to areca nut extract, a potential carcinogen of oral cancer. METHODS: Two oral cancer sublines chronically treated with areca nut extract were established. Methods such as microarray and immunohistochemistry were used to screen and validate the genes' altered expressions in areca nut extract-sublines or in cancer tissues. RESULTS: A total of...
