[PMID: 37641028 PMCID: PMC10464482 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11247-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to identify tumor-associated antigen (TAA) biomarkers through bioinformatic analysis and experimental verification, and to evaluate a panel of autoantibodies against tumor-associated antigens (TAAbs) for the detection of oral cancer (OC). METHODS GEO and TCGA databases were used to screen significantly up-regulated genes related to OC, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis and Cystoscope software were used to identify key genes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression levels of autoantibodies in 173 OC patients and 173 normal controls, and binary logistic regression analysis was used to build a diagnostic model. RESULTS Using bioinformatics, we identified 10 key genes (AURKA, AURKB, CXCL8, CXCL10, COL1A1, FN1, FOXM1, MMP9, SPP1 and UBE2C) that were highly expressed in OC. Three autoantibodies (anti-AURKA, anti-CXCL10, anti-FOXM1) were proven to have diagnostic value for OC in the verification set and the validation set. The combined assessment of these three autoantibodies improved the diagnostic value for OC, with an area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of 0.741(95%CI:0.690-0.793),58.4% and 80.4%, respectively. In addition, the combination of these three autoantibodies also had high diagnostic value for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), with an AUC, sensitivity and specificity of 0.731(95%CI:0.674,0.786), 53.8% and 82.1%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that AURKA, CXCL10 and FOXM1 may be potential biomarkers and the panel of three autoantibodies (anti-AURKA, anti-CXCL10 and anti-FOXM1) had good diagnostic value for OC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carcinogenesis is determined by various epigenetic events, such as histone deacetylation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the new histone deacetylase inhibitor resminostat on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines. METHODS The cytotoxicity of resminostat and cisplatin on HNSCC cell lines SCC25, CAL27, and FaDu was determined using CCK-8 cell proliferation assay and combination index analysis. Cells were irradiated with 2 to 8 Gray. Apoptosis was measured using flow cytometry and expression of Mcl-1, p-AKT, and survivin was investigated. RESULTS Treatment with resminostat showed a decrease of cell proliferation of HNSCC cell lines. In addition, a synergistic effect with cisplatin as well as with radiation treatment could be observed. Induction of cell death and dose-dependent downregulation of survivin was evident in all cell lines. CONCLUSION Resminostat is a promising treatment of HNSCC because of its antiproliferative, chemosensitizing, and radiosensitizing effects. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 39: 900-907, 2017.

Clinical significance of high levels of survivin and transforming growth factor beta-1 proteins in aqueous humor and serum of retinoblastoma patients. J AAPOS 2016; 20:444.e1-444.e9. [PMID: 27663628 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaapos.2016.07.223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2016] [Revised: 07/11/2016] [Accepted: 07/17/2016] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic values of survivin and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-B1) expression in aqueous humor and serum of retinoblastoma (RB) in comparison to the conventional RB marker lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and to elucidate a possible correlation between them and the clinicopathological features of the disease. METHODS This prospective, comparative study included 88 newly diagnosed children with RB and 80 age-matched controls with ophthalmic conditions other than tumors prepared for intraocular surgeries. Concentrations of survivin, TGF-B1, and LDH were measured in serum and aqueous humor before and 6 months after completion of therapy. RESULTS High serum and aqueous humor concentrations of the three proteins were detected in RB patients before treatment compared to the control group (P < 0.01), with a significant reduction of serum concentrations after treatment (P < 0.01). For the highest sensitivity and specificity, the optimal cutoff values of serum and aqueous survivin were 12.9 pg/ml and 25.2 pg/mg, with a significant positive correlation between aqueous survivin and RB staging and presence of optic nerve infiltration (r = 0.43, P = 0.04); the best cutoff values of serum and aqueous TGF-B1, 370.7 pg/ml and 39.8 pg/mg, with a significant positive correlation between aqueous TGF-B1 and poor differentiation of the tumor (r = 0.69, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of serum and aqueous humor survivin and TGF-B1 proteins make them promising markers for early detection and follow-up of RB patients.

Decitabine and SAHA-induced apoptosis is accompanied by survivin downregulation and potentiated by ATRA in p53-deficient cells. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2014; 2014:165303. [PMID: 25140197 PMCID: PMC4130322 DOI: 10.1155/2014/165303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2014] [Revised: 06/26/2014] [Accepted: 07/05/2014] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
While p53-dependent apoptosis is triggered by combination of methyltransferase inhibitor decitabine (DAC) and histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) in leukemic cell line CML-T1, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation as well as survivin and Bcl-2 deregulation participated in DAC + SAHA-induced apoptosis in p53-deficient HL-60 cell line. Moreover, decrease of survivin expression level is accompanied by its delocalization from centromere-related position in mitotic cells suggesting that both antiapoptotic and cell cycle regulation roles of survivin are affected by DAC + SAHA action. Addition of subtoxic concentration of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) increases the efficiency of DAC + SAHA combination on viability, apoptosis induction, and ROS generation in HL-60 cells but has no effect in CML-T1 cell line. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from healthy donors showed no damage induced by DAC + SAHA + ATRA combination. Therefore, combination of ATRA with DAC and SAHA represents promising tool for therapy of leukemic disease with nonfunctional p53 signalization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and its incidence is still increasing. Approximately 50% of patients with OSCC die within 5 years after diagnosis, mostly ascribed to the fact that the majority of patients present advanced stages of OSCC at the time of diagnosis. METHODS To discover salivary biomarkers for ameliorating the detection of OSCC, herein, we developed a multiplexed bead-based platform to simultaneously detect auto-antibodies (auto-Abs) in salivary samples. RESULTS Compared with healthy individuals, the salivary levels of anti-p53, anti-survivin, anti-Hsp60, and anti-RPLP0 were significantly elevated in patients with OSCC. Noteworthily, the elevated levels of anti-p53, anti-survivin, and anti-Hsp60 were already observed in individuals with oral potentially malignant disorder. Moreover, the salivary levels of anti-p53, anti-survivin, anti-Hsp60, anti-RPLP0, and anti-CK8 were significantly elevated in patients with early-stage OSCC compared with those in healthy individuals. Most importantly, the use of a combined panel of salivary anti-p53, anti-survivin, anti-Hsp60, and anti-RPLP0 largely improves the detection of OSCC. CONCLUSION Collectively, our results reveal that the salivary auto-Abs are effective OSCC biomarkers and the four-auto-Ab panel provides a novel and practicable approach for OSCC screening. IMPACT This study provides the first evidence for the potential clinical application of salivary auto-Abs in OSCC diagnosis.

Abstract
Expression of survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis, is increased in endometriotic lesions and probably favors the survival of endometrial fragments in the peritoneal cavity. The aim of this study was to evaluate associations between survivin promoter polymorphisms and the risk of endometriosis, as well as to compare the immunoreactivity to survivin in sera of patients with and without endometriosis. We studied 149 women with endometriosis, 196 fertile women from the general population (control group A) and 47 women who had undergone diagnostic laparoscopy and had no evidence of endometriosis (control group B). There were no significant differences in the genotypic distribution of the survivin gene promoter region -241C/T, -235G/A and -31G/C single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) between endometriosis patients and the two control groups. In addition, also median anti-survivin autoantibody levels were similar among patients and controls (group B). However, anti-survivin antibody concentrations seemed to be influenced by cigarette smoking, being significantly lower in sera of actively smoking women compared to non-smokers (median OD: 0.019 vs. 0.155, respectively, P<0.001), and by the -235G/A SNP, as A allele carriers were significantly more frequent among women with a high antibody level (OD≥2.0) compared to those with lower concentrations (OD<2.0) (23.1% vs. 4.1%, respectively, P=0.008). Based on these results, we conclude that survivin promoter polymorphisms are not associated with susceptibility to endometriosis in the Estonian population, and though the expression of survivin is increased in endometriotic lesions, autoimmune reactivity against it is similar in women with and without the disease.

Abstract
CONCLUSIONS Survivin may act as a major cancer antigen in head and neck cancer, and the present study revealed a link between systemic anti-survivin antibody responses and survivin expression in cancer tissues in patients with head and neck cancer. OBJECTIVES Survivin is highly expressed in cancer cells, but is expressed at low levels or not at all in normal tissues. Little is known about the relationship between survivin expression and antibody responses to survivin in patients with head and neck cancer. METHODS Anti-survivin antibody responses in sera of head and neck cancer patients were investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of survivin mRNA in the cancer tissues from larynx and hypopharynx was examined by quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS Sera from 42 of 55 patients (76.4%) were positive for anti-survivin. High levels of anti-survivin were detected in patients in the advanced stage of disease. Most cancer tissues, but not normal adjacent tissues, expressed survivin mRNA, and a significant correlation between the levels of anti-survivin antibody in the serum and survivin mRNA in cancer tissues was detected.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the usefulness of specific and reliable serum biomarkers to predict cervical lymph node metastasis. Methods: A cross-sectional study of cases and controls. Thirty-nine serum samples of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were collected from patients during neoplasm resection. Another 10 serum samples were collected from healthy individuals as a control group. Selected serum biomarkers were E-cadherin, MMP-2, MMP-9, active MMP-13, and p53 autoantibodies. Results: We found a correlation between active MMP-13 (>685 pg/mL; ROC curve analysis 95% CI for sensitivity 79.6-99.3; specificity 49.2-95.1; positive predictive value 65-100; and negative predictive value 36-100) as well as the presence of p53 autoantibodies and lymph node metastasis. Multimarker analysis using MMP-13 and p53 autoantibodies together provided better sensitivity (76%) and specificity (100%). Conclusions: The combined determination of active MMP-13 and p53 autoantibodies could improve diagnosis of lymphatic metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and aid therapeutic decision making.
