I. Purpose
○ miRNAs are endogenous, nonprotein-coding sequences and regulate the expression of genes, approximately 60% of all human genes, either by inhibiting or inducing the mRNA transcription.
○ Currently, miRNAs have profiled as their typical mechanism of transcriptional regulation in a variety of cells and cellular systems and have investigated the numerous cellular process of miRNA themselves, including organism development, cellular differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis.
○ Although a variety of studies related with miRNA underway, but their biological functions or cellular mechanisms are still largely unknown.
○ The purposes of this study are as follows.
1. Establishment of specific miRNAs related oral cancer cell growth inhibition
2. Establishment of cell growth inhibition, its mechanisms and clinical usefulness by control of specific miRNAs in oral cancer cells
3. Establishment of foundation of oral cancer diagnosis kit development through miRNA profiling
