For example, our previous work showed that the high-COX-2 expressing SCCF2 cells were more bone-invasive in an orthotopic nude mouse model of feline OSCC compared to SCCF1 and SCCF3, and the SCCF2 cells expressed the most parathyroid hormone related-protein (PTHrP), a known mediator of tumor invasion into bone [35]. Here, PTHLH is linked to neoplasm.
