In this study, we investigated these cellular factors in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) of the tongue and floor of the mouth with RTCA. We also examined the associated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and integrins. We used the cell lines SCC-4 and SAS, which are human poorly differentiated OSCCs from the tongue, and HO-1-u-1, which are human poorly differentiated OSCCs from the floor of the mouth. Using RTCA, cell migration was assessed on fibronectin–coated CIM-Plates, and invasion was assessed on fibronectin- and matrigel-coated CIM-Plates. SCC-4 cells demonstrated a high ability for cell migration and invasion compared with SAS and HO-1-u-1 cells. The SCC-4 cells also expressed high levels of MMP-9 and integrin α1 mRNA compared with SAS and HO-1-u-1 cells. The MMP inhibitor Marimastat blocked migration and invasion of all OSCCs. The findings suggest that MMP-9 is associated with cell migration and invasion in OSCCs, and indicate that RTCA will be useful for analyzing the metastatic capability of OSCCs and developing more effective new drugs for this disease.}, pages = {203--212}, title = {Investigation of Cell Migration and Invasion Using Real-time Cell Analysis, as well as the Association with Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas}, volume = {25}, year = {} }
