Popis: LEM domain containing 1 (LEMD1) is a novel factor involved in the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We previously performed a microarray analysis and found that serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade E, member 2 (SERPINE2) is an LEMD1-related signal. SERPINE2 is an extracellular serine proteinase inhibitor with secretory capacity. Although SERPINE2 displays tumor-promoting properties in many cancers, some reports indicate that SRPINE2 also has a tumor-suppressing function. Therefore, there are many unclear points about its role in cancer. In this study, we investigated SERPINE2 expression in OSCC. The gene expression and secretion levels of SERPINE2 were examined in 42 frozen specimens of OSCC, and SERPINE2 immunostaining was investigated in 167 cases of OSCC. Furthermore, the effect of SERPINE2 on angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis was analyzed using OSCC cells and endothelial cells. In the frozen specimens, the gene expression (P
