Gene expression profiling of oral cancer cells chronic exposed to areca nut extract

Oral cancer is the 6th most frequent cancer in Taiwan. The habit of areca nut chewing is the main etiological factor of oral cancer. To shed light on molecular basis of areca nut associated oral carcinogenesis, we established two oral cell sublines chronically treated with areca nut extract (ANE) at IC70 dose for 2 months. Affymatrix microarray was used in transcriptome profiling between parent...
