Despite the availability of screening programs, oral cancer deaths are increasing due to the lack of diagnostic biomarkers leading to late diagnosis and a poor prognosis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover novel effective biomarkers for this tumor. On these bases, the aim of this study was to validate the diagnostic potential of microRNAs (miRNAs) through the analysis of liquid biopsy samples obtained from ten oral cancer patients and ten healthy controls. The expression of four selected miRNAs was evaluated by using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) in a pilot cohort of ten oral cancer patients and ten healthy donors. Bioinformatics analyses were performed to assess the functional role of these miRNAs. The expression levels of the predicted down-regulated hsa-miR-133a-3p and hsa-miR-375-3p were significantly reduced in oral cancer patients compared to normal individuals while no significant results were obtained for the up-regulated hsa-miR-503-5p and hsa-miR-196a-5p. ROC analysis confirmed the high sensitivity and specificity of hsa-miR-375-3p and hsa-miR-133a-3p. Therefore, both miRNAs are significantly down-regulated in cancer patients and can be used as biomarkers for the early diagnosis of oral cancer. The analysis of circulating miRNAs in a larger series of patients is mandatory to confirm the results obtained in this pilot study.

Background: One of the most important prognostic factors of oral cancer is the stage at the time of diagnosis. Unfortunately, most of the patients present in the late stages (stage III and IV). Aim: To assess the role of socioeconomic status and literacy in the treatment delay in patients of oral cancer. By identifying their role, we can educate the general public and healthcare doctors to detect and treat oral cancer. Method: This was a prospective study conducted in the Mayo hospital, a tertiary care hospital of Pakistan, from June 2018 to June 2020. Results: Out of 120 patients, 84 (70%) were males and 36 (30%) were females. The age range was 14 to 85 years. One hundred and eight patients (90%) presented with the late stages (stage III and IV). These late-stage presenter patients belonged to the low socioeconomic status (88.88%) and 83.33% of them were illiterate (<high school education). Only twelve patients (10%) presented with the early stage at the time of diagnosis. Conclusion: Low socioeconomic and lack of education have a significant association with the late presentation of oral cancer patients in the Pakistani population. Keywords: squamous cell carcinoma, treatment delay, socioeconomic status

Background: Nicotine-metabolized product nicotine imine is suggested to play a role in metabolic changes in oral cancer. There is a significant gap in the detection of oncometabolite nicotine imine in biological fluids and nails of oral cancer patients. Oncometabolites are designated as metabolites those are usually elevated in cancer cells over normal cells. Interestingly, a direct or indirect link is missing that establishes a role of nicotine imine in pro-cancer cellular events including global DNA hypomethylation, a potential metabolic-epigenetic axis in oral cancer. Methods: A novel vertical tube gel electrophoresis (VTGE) system assisted purification and liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) based identification of nicotine imine in the nails of oral cancer patients. Further, nicotine imine was evaluated for its molecular interactions with various methyltransferases including DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) by molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Results: Data suggested the presence of nicotine imine in the nails of oral cancer patients. Molecular docking and MD simulations revealed a specific binding affinity by nicotine imine with DNMT1. Binding by nicotine imine is within the CXCC regulatory domain of DNMT1 including key residues as ARG690, PRO574, VAL658, PRO692 and ALA695. Similar binding residues are displayed by DNMT1 inhibitor 5'-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine. Conclusion : Nicotine imine is suggested as a predictive biomarker for oral cancer patients in nails and this finding is a first report. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation propose the role of nicotine imine as an inhibitor of DNMT1. This work supports the involvement of synergistic pro-tumor metabolic-epigenomic axis by nicotine imine that may contribute towards potential mutagenesis of normal squamous epithelium.
