Mcl-1L was found to be significantly overexpressed at both mRNA & protein level in all seven oral cancer cell lines (SCC25, UPCI:SCC029B, UPCI:SCC040, UPCI:SCC074, QLL1, AW8507 and AW13516) as compared to immortalized normal FBM & dysplastic DOK cell line (Figure 1). Here, MCL1 is linked to lip and oral cavity carcinoma.
