Abnormal Expression

Abnormal expression ofβ-catenin contributes to tumor development, progression, and metastasis in various cancers. However, little is known about the relationship between abnormal expression ofβ-catenin and cisplatin chemotherapy in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The present study aimed to investigate the effect ofβ-catenin on OSCC cisplatin resistance and evaluated the drug susceptibility of stable cell lines withβ-catenin knockin and knockdown. In this study, we found that higher expression level ofβ-catenin can be observed in CDDP-treated cell lines as compared with the control group. Furthermore, the expression levels ofβ-catenin increased in both a concentration- and time-dependent manner with the cisplatin treatment. More importantly, the nuclear translocation ofβ-catenin could also be observed by confocal microscope analysis. Stable cell lines with CTNNB1 knockin and knockdown were established to further investigate the potential role and mechanism ofβ-catenin in the chemoresistance of OSCC in vitro and in vivo. Our findings indicated that overexpression ofβ-catenin promoted cisplatin resistance in OSCC in vitro and in vivo. We confirmed that GSK-3β, C-myc, Bcl-2, P-gp, and MRP-1 were involved inβ-catenin-mediated drug resistance. Our findings indicate that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway may play important roles in cisplatin resistance in OSCC.

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be vital factors to affect the expression of genes and proteins. Also, it has been proved that the abnormal expression or mutation of lncRNAs stands as a signal of metastasis and proliferation of cancer. Nevertheless, the majority of lncRNAs still need to be explored in abundant cancers especially in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods RT-qPCR assays were applied to test the expression of RNAs. Mechanism assays were performed to verify the combination among NORAD, TPM4 and miR-577. Also, functional assays were conducted to verify the function of RNAs on OSCC cells. Results LncRNA NORAD was highly expressed in OSCC tissues and cells. NORAD silencing repressed the biological behaviors of OSCC cells. MiR-577 was found in OSCC with low expression, and RIP assays illustrated that NORAD, miR-577 and TPM4 coexisted in RNA-induced silencing complexes. Rescue assays proved that the overexpression of TPM4 could recover the effect of NORAD silencing on OSCC progression. Conclusions It was revealed that NORAD functioned as a tumor promoter to sponge miR-577 thus elevating TPM4 in OSCC, which indicated that NORAD was worthy to be studied as a target for the treatment of OSCC.

A cross sectional study of 29 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma with or without  cervical lymph node metastasis was done among Bangladeshi patients from January 2006 to December 2007. Majority of the study subjects (34.5%) belonged to the age group of 40-49 years. 58.6% of the study subjects were male, while remaining 41.4% of them were female. 51.7% of the lesions were located in the alveolar ridge where the other common sites were buccal mucosa (27.6%) and retro molar area (13.8%). Half of the study subjects (51.7%) were habituated to betel quid chewing followed by 37.9% and 10.3% were habituated to smoking and betel quid-smoking respectively. Grade I lesions was most prevalent (75.9%) in the study subjects.  Majority of cases presented with Stage IV lesions (55.2%). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value & accuracy of clinical palpation method for determining metastatic cervical lymph nodes were 93.33%, 64.29%, 73.68%, 90% and 79.3% respectively. Careful and repeated clinical palpation plays important role in evaluation of cervical lymph nodes though several modern techniques may help additionally in the management of oral cancer.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/updcj.v1i2.13978 Update Dent.
