Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2 ) is
effectively to regenerate defects of the maxillary and mandible
bones. Such defects are sometimes caused by resection of oral
squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) yet the biologic effects of
rhBMP-2 on this malignancy and its histological relations and the
ability of invasion and metastasis are not fully clear.
Aim of the study : this study aimed to investigate the effects of
rhBMP2 on E-cadherin expression , which plays a pivotal role in the
cellular adhesion through the adherent junctions.
