Objective: In this study, the hypothesis that hBD-3 is upregulated by LPS via epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathways to enhance metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) was tested.
Study Design: hBD-3 expression in human tissue specimens was evaluated by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemical staining. The presence of hBD-3 peptide in the culture supernatants of each type of treated cells was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
