Abstract excerpt
Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) are the most common cancers of the oral cavity, but the molecular mechanisms driving OSCC carcinogenesis remain unclear. Our group previously established a murine OSCC model based on a 10-week carcinogen [4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO)] treatment. Here we used K14CreERTAM;Rosa26LacZ mice to perform lineage tracing to delineate the mutational profiles in clonal cell...
