## Abstract ## Background Apoptosis is a genetically programmed form of cell death, of which caspases are the central components. ## Methods By tissue microarray of 229 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), we analyzed the immunoexpression of caspases 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. ## Results
A transmembrane glycoprotein recently identified on some tumor cells, extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN), has been shown to induce metalloproteinase (MMP) production by peritumor fibroblasts (PTF). We examined biopsy specimens of normal human oral mucosa and oral squamous cell
