Aim. This study aims to investigate the possible role ofH. pylorias a cause of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.Method. This controlled study was performed with 31 consecutive laryngeal cancer and 28 cancer-free patients who underwent direct laryngoscopy and biopsy of laryngeal lesions. To document the previousH. pyloriinfection, serological analysis of the antibody titers was done. Immunohistochemical analyses were applied to the tissue samples.Results. Serology was found positive at the 90.3% of the laryngeal cancer patients and 96.4% of the benign group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). Immunohistochemical analysis results were determined as negative at all of the specimens of laryngeal cancer patients and patients with benign lesions.Conclusion. There were no signs of colonization ofH. pyloriin laryngeal tissues of both groups' patients. It is thought that no relationship exists between theH. pyloriinfection and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract Background Motivation: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the relatively common malignant tumors occurring in the epithelial tissue of the larynx. Recently study showed that tumor immunity mechanisms have highly correlation with the development and progression of LSCC. With the development of research on circular RNA (circRNA) in recent years, a large number of abnormal expressions of circRNA in various tumors have been reported. There is a large number of evidences indicated that circRNA is widely involved in stage development of tumors and it also plays an important role as a biomarker in diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the study of the pathways involved in the development of tumor by circRNA is a necessary process for humans to further understand cancer at the transcriptional level. The purpose of this study was to identify the circRNAs in tumor tissues of patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) by NGS technique and to find the circRNAs that were significantly different from normal adjacent tissues. Finally, the mechanism of these differentially expressed tumor immunity circRNAs affecting LSCC development was further analyzed. Methods Raw data was mapped to Hg19 human genome and circRNA read count matrix was generated by featureCount software. In this study, the screening criteria for differential expression were p-value < 0.01 and | log2(FoldChange) | > 2.0. Filtered circRNAs were then applied for generating circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction network with known human micro RNA (miRNAs). After filtering unmeaning interactions, network-involved mRNAs were implement to KEGG analysis. Among those KEGG terms, immunity-related pathways were selected and their related circRNAs were chosen for further analysis. Second KEGG analysis then performed to these circRNAs for detecting their potential to be biomarkers. Finally a QRT-PCR experiment was used to verify the results. Results Among the 8 samples, 4 were LSCC tumor tissue samples and 4 were adjacent normal tissue samples. A total of 75,931 circRNAs were identified in total 8 samples. After filtering through the above screening criteria, we obtained 39 significantly differential expressed circRNAs from those identified candidates. Of the 39 circRNAs, 21 were detected to be significantly less expressed in LSCC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues, and other 18 were significantly higher. Through the interaction analysis of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA, we found that these differential expressed circRNAs were related to tumor immunity. After screening, four circRNAs with the strongest correlation with tumor immunity were obtained. We found that they play an important role in the membrane receptor tyrosine protein kinase signaling pathway pathway (Ras-Raf-MAPK pathway) and p53 signaling pathway. Conclusion According to the results, the method of detecting expression of four selected circRNAs has a bright future to be a kind of new LSCC diagnose approach.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the expression levels of IFITM1 in human tissue samples and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) cells, and to explore the potential mechanisms of IFITM1 in LSCC progression. METHODS: Quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical (IHC) assays were performed to detect IFITM1 expression in 62 LSCC tissues and corresponding normal tissues. We further detected the effects of IFITM1 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of LSCC cells and NF-κB signaling pathway through colony formation assay, wound healing assay and transwell assay, respectively. RESULTS: We demonstrated the possible involvement of IFITM1 in the progression of LSCC. We found the upregulated expression of IFITM1 in human LSCC tissues and cells, and analyzed the correlations between IFITM1 expression and osteopontin. Our data further confirmed that IFITM1 affected cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of LSCC cells via the regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS: We investigated the potential involvement of IFITM1 in the progression of LSCC, and therefore confirmed that IFITM1 was a potential therapeutic target for LSCC.

Abstract Background Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is considered to be a common malignancy of the head and neck with poor prognosis for its late diagnosis, metastasis and recurrence. Growing evidence demonstrates that the dysregulation of miR-29c-3p (microRNA-29c-3p) plays an important role in various tumor processes. Our study investigates the expression of miR-29c-3p in LSCC and analyzes the correlation of its dysregulation with clinicopathologic parameters and prognosis. Methods The expression of hsa-miR-29c-3p in LSCC tissues and the adjacent normal laryngeal tissues was detected in 96 LSCC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The SPSS statistical software package (17.0) was used to analyze the associations between miR-29c-3p expressions and various clinicopathological characteristics. The overall survival (OS) was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test, and we analyzed the independent factor of prognosis by Cox proportional hazard analysis. Results A downregulation of miR-29c-3p expression in LSCC was significantly correlated with smoking index, tumor size, tumor site, differentiation, T classification, TNM stage, and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05), but there was no correlation with age and alcohol consumption (P > 0.05). In the multivariate survival analysis, low miR-29c-3p expression was associated with shorter overall survival (P < 0.05). Furthermore, miR-29c expression was an independent prognostic factor for laryngeal cancer patients. Conclusions MiR-29c-3p has different expression levels at different stages of tumor progression, suggesting that miR-29c-3p may be a promising biomarker for evaluating the progression of LSCC and the prognosis of patients with LSCC. MiR-29c-3p can also be a novel molecular target for anti-laryngeal cancer therapy.

Abstract Background: LncRNA plays an important role in the gene regulatory network and can affect the progress of tumors. LncRNA TM4SF19-AS1 has been reported may associate with the occurrence and development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: LncRNA TM4SF19-AS1 expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) tissue samples was evaluated in TCGA database, and its expression in LSCC tissues and cells was further determined via qRT-PCR. CCK-8, EdU, wound healing and transwell assays were performed to access the cell biological behaviors of TM4SF19-AS1. The downstream regulatory mechanism of TM4SF19-AS1 regulating gene expression was further detected by WGCNA, subcellular location prediction, western blot and dual-luciferase reporter assay.Results: The expression of TM4SF19-AS1 was upregulated in LSCC tissues and positively correlated with tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage and lymph node metastasis in LSCC patients. Knockdown of TM4SF19-AS1 suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of LSCC cells. Mechanistically, TM4SF19-AS1 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) that directly bound to miR-153-3p, and ITGAV was the direct target of miR-153-3p.Conclusions: LncRNA TM4SF19-AS1 promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of laryngeal carcinoma by targeting miR-153-3p/ITGAV axis, suggesting that TM4SF19-AS1 could be a potential diagnostic biomarker and an effective target for the treatment for LSCC.

Most primarily cultured laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells are difficult to propagate in vitro and have a low survival rate. However, in our previous work to establish a laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cell line, we found that laryngeal cancer-associated fibroblasts appeared to strongly inhibit the apoptosis of primarily cultured laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells in vitro. In this study, we investigated whether paired laryngeal cancer-associated fibroblasts alone can effectively support the growth of primarily cultured laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells in vitro. In all, 29 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma specimens were collected and primarily cultured. The laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells were separated from cancer-associated fibroblasts by differential trypsinization and continuously subcultured. Morphological changes of the cultured laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells were observed. Immunocytofluorescence was used to authenticate the identity of the cancer-associated fibroblasts and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells. Flow cytometry was used to quantify the proportion of apoptotic cells. Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of caspase-3. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 7, hepatocyte growth factor, and fibroblast growth factor 1 in the supernatants of the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and control cells. AMD3100 (a chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 antagonist) and an anti–chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 7 antibody were used to block the tumor-supporting capacity of cancer-associated fibroblasts. Significant apoptotic changes were detected in the morphology of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells detached from cancer-associated fibroblasts. The percentage of apoptotic laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells and the protein levels of caspase-3 increased gradually in subsequent subcultures. In contrast, no significant differences in the proliferation capacity of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells cocultured with cancer-associated fibroblasts were detected during subculturing. High level of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 was detected in the culture supernatant of cancer-associated fibroblasts. The tumor-supporting effect of cancer-associated fibroblasts was significantly inhibited by AMD3100. Our findings demonstrate that the paired laryngeal cancer-associated fibroblasts alone are sufficient to support the primary growth of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells in vitro and that the chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12/chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 axis is one of the major contributors.

The interaction between the HPV (human papilloma virus) 16 E7 and other cell growth factors, such as p53 and NFκB in laryngeal cancer is not clearly understood. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of these three proteins in tumor and non-tumor laryngeal tissues from patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. These three proteins were dominantly expressed in the nucleus and their levels were higher in the tumor tissue than in the non-tumor tissue, although the comparison between the tumor and non-tumor tissues of p53 staining did not reach significance. The intensity of the nuclear stain of E7 and p53 was stronger than that of p65, a subunit of NFκB. Correlation analysis revealed that there was a positive relationship between the level of HPV16 E7 and the expression of p65. The correlation between E7 and p53 was also significant, although to a lesser degree. The finding of nuclear localization of p65 suggests that NFκB is constantly activated in the laryngeal cancer cells, whereas the sequestration of p53 in the nucleus may represent a mutated form of p53, which is probably inactivated by HPV16 oncoproteins. In conclusion, this study suggests that the nuclear localization of NFκB and p53 may play a role in the development of human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma infected with HPV16.

The article describes methods for the human papillomavirus (HPV) detection in tumor and adjacent (morphologically intact) tissues of patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSSC) in terms of viral pathogenesis. Comparative evaluation of the principles and techniques for HPV detection was performed. Advantages and disadvantages of the HPV detection methods are described. Approaches for DNA and HPV oncoproteins E6-E7 identification are substantiated. The results of our research into the qualitative and quantitative detection of HPV in the tumor and adjacent tissues of patients with Lssc are described. The research was conducted using commercial test systems Amplisens HPV HR screen-titre-FL and Amplisens HPV HR genotype-FL. Based on these results we developed the algorithm of HPV detection in samples of tumor tissue of patients with Lssc. The need for typing HPV-positive tissue samples with low concentration of HPV DNA was discussed.
