Deng G, Fu TJ, Liu CP. Increased expression of Myosin X contributes to the metastasis in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Mol Genet Genomics 2022; 297:1529-1536. [PMID: 35951144 PMCID: PMC9596522 DOI: 10.1007/s00438-022-01934-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common malignancy in Head and neck cancer for which the mechanism underlying its metastasis is poorly understood. Myosin X, a molecular motor in cells has been demonstrated to play an important role in cell migration. However, whether Myosin X is involved in the metastasis of LSCC remains unclear. To investigate the expression of Myosin X and its implication in the metastasis of LSCC, we recruited 30 patients with LSCC and 6 patients with vocal cord polyp range from October 2016 to October 2018. Tissue samples were obtained during surgery and the expression of Myosin X, Cortactin, MMP2, MMP9, E-cadherin, and β-catenin in tissue samples were evaluated by RT-PCR, Western blot, immunohistochemistry or ELISA. Patients with LSCC were further followed-up 2 year after surgery for metastasis analysis. We found that the level of Myosin X, Cortactin, MMP2, and MMP9 was much higher in poorly differentiated LSCC compared to that in moderately and highly LSCC, as well as the control tissues. In contrast, the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition related marker, E-cadherin, and β-catenin, were much lower in poorly differentiated LSCC tissues compared to that in moderately and highly differentiated LSCC tissues, as well as the control tissues. Moreover, the expression of Myosin X was positively correlated with Cortactin, MMP2, and MMP9 levels. Increased expression of Myosin X in LSCC tissues was related to higher risk of metastasis. In conclusion, our findings showed that. Myosin X augments the expression of Cortactin, MMP2 and MMP9, which could upregulate the cell migration and the matrix degradation, and consequently reduce the expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin, thereby activating epithelial-mesenchymal transformation and promoting the metastasis of LSCC. Targeting Myosin X may have potential therapeutic effect in the metastasis of LSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess five-year local control and ultimate local control rates of patients treated for locally advanced T3-4 glottic carcinoma with surgery only, radiotherapy only, or surgery plus radiotherapy. Cancer-specific survival, overall survival and rates of malignancy development were also assessed. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on patients from 1967 to 2015, with analysis of local control, ultimate local control, overall survival and cancer-specific survival performed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression. RESULTS Of 169 eligible patients, the majority (59 per cent) were treated with surgery plus radiotherapy, with laryngectomy being the most common surgical procedure. Local control and ultimate local control rates were higher with surgery only (94.1 per cent) and surgery plus radiotherapy (87.9 and 86.8 per cent respectively), compared to radiotherapy only (46.8 and 52.4 per cent) (both p < 0.001). Cancer-specific survival, overall survival and malignancy development did not differ between groups. CONCLUSION Surgery, with or without radiotherapy, offers significantly higher five-year local control and ultimate local control for patients with advanced glottic carcinoma, compared to radiotherapy only.

[PMID: 27882053 PMCID: PMC5108852 DOI: 10.1155/2016/3215463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2016] [Revised: 10/06/2016] [Accepted: 10/16/2016] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objectives. This research aimed to determine the association between hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma clinical stage. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed paraffin-embedded tissue from 47 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients from 2011 to 2014. HIF-1α expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry using an anti-HIF-1α mouse monoclonal antibody. The association between HIF-1α expression and clinical stage was analyzed using the chi square test. Results. The glottis was the predominant site of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma occurrence, and 43/47 (91.5%) patients presented at an advanced stage. Of the advanced stage patients, 27/43 stained positive for HIF-1α expression and 16/43 stained negative. Of the early stage patients, 2/4 stained positive for HIF-1α expression and 2/4 stained negative. Statistical analysis did not demonstrate significant association of HIF-1α expression. Conclusion. There was no statistically significant association between HIF-1α expression and the clinical stage or histological differentiation of LSCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to identify factors associated with treatment differences, characterize changes in treatment patterns over time, and compare survival across treatment types in patients who received treatment for localized laryngeal cancer. METHODS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, we conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of patients who were treated from 1995 to 2009 for localized laryngeal cancer. Four treatment groups were defined: (1) radiation only, (2) local surgery only, (3) local surgery and radiation, and (4) open surgery with or without radiation. Variations in treatment rates between these groups were evaluated according to demographic factors, and differences in treatment rates across time were calculated. Associations between treatment and mortality were assessed using Kaplan-Meier methods. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to adjust for potential confounding covariates. RESULTS In total, 10,429 patients with localized laryngeal cancer were identified. Most patients (57%) were treated with radiation only; 25% with local surgery and radiation, 9% with local surgery only, and 9% with open surgery with or without radiation. Race, age, and registry were associated with differences in treatment. Receipt of single-modality treatment increased and receipt of combined-modality treatment decreased over the study period. Better survival was observed with white race, younger age, and treatment with local surgery. Survival differences associated with treatment type were observed within 3 years of diagnosis and persisted beyond 5 years after diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Although treatment patterns became more adherent to treatment guidelines over time, we identified survival differences associated with treatment type that warrant further investigation into treatment decision-making for patients with localized laryngeal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to examine patterns of care and survival in a population-based sample of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) who were treated in the community or in hospitals that had residency training programs. METHODS Data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program were used to sample 1317 patients aged ≥20 years with invasive squamous HNC who were diagnosed during 2004 and who had vital status available through 2008. RESULTS Treatment and survival were influenced by tumor site and disease stage. Patients who had stage I/II cancer of the oral cavity generally underwent surgery; patients with stage III oral cavity disease underwent surgery and received radiation; and patients with stage IV oral cavity disease underwent surgery and received chemoradiation. Patients with early stage cancer of the oropharynx either underwent surgery or received radiation and chemotherapy, and patients with late/unstaged oropharyngeal disease primarily received radiation and chemotherapy. Patients with early stage cancer of the larynx mainly received radiation alone, and patients with late stage laryngeal disease generally received chemoradiation. Cisplatin-based regimens were used most frequently. Overall, taxanes were used in 32% of regimens, and cetuximab was used in <3% of regimens. Patients aged ≥50 years, those with a Charlson comorbidity score ≥1, those with stage IV disease, and those with cancer located in the oral cavity or larynx had poorer survival. Although facilities with residency training programs treated more black patients and more patients with late stage disease, when adjusted for other factors, survival rates were similar to those reported in facilities with no such programs. CONCLUSIONS Therapy generally followed accepted standards for 2004. Findings in particular tumor sites and stages may reflect the variability that still exists for the treatment of HNC. The use of taxanes and cetuximab is expected to increase based on new evidence of benefit. Reducing treatment-related toxicities and long-term functional deficits will be critical and especially important with the increase in human papillomavirus-related cancers. In addition, further attempts to improve survival for older patients are needed.

Abstract
Laryngeal cancer is the most commonly diagnosed head and neck malignancy. Treatment of laryngeal tumors is dependent upon disease stage at diagnosis, and may involve surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of modalities. Regardless of tumor stage or treatment provided, quality of life (QOL) can be drastically affected. Voice-related outcomes are almost universally affected and can have a negative impact on overall QOL. Thus, treatment outcomes must extend beyond issues of oncological cure alone. Measures of voice and voice-related QOL following treatment for laryngeal cancer are important markers of treatment success. This article will broadly outline laryngeal cancer and its treatment, vocal rehabilitation, and provide insight into the various methods of assessing post-treatment voice and the influence of voice change on quality of life in these patients.

Abstract
Ninety percent of vocal fold cancers take the form of squamous cell carcinoma. Since the 1980s, incidence in France has been constantly falling in males while increasing in females. The main risk factor is smoking, alcohol being less implicated than in other laryngeal or extralaryngeal locations. Vocal fold squamous cell carcinoma generally develops on healthy mucosa, although primary precancerous lesions such as leukoplakia or papillomatous keratosis are also frequent. The tumor usually originates in the non-lymphophilic mucosal free edge of the vocal fold then invades the various anatomic subunits of the larynx, acquiring lymph-node metastatic potential. Dysphonia is the first presenting symptom, initially caused by defective mucosal vibration and then by impaired mobility and finally fixation of the vocal fold. Extension, risk factor and pretreatment assessments are as in other upper-aerodigestive-tract cancer locations. The possibilities of laryngoscopic exposure and the tumor limits, however, need to be precisely determined if transoral resection is to be considered. For small tumors, surgery or exclusive radiation therapy can be suggested to the patient as part of an individual treatment plan, each having its advantages and drawbacks. Cutting-edge teams report 5-year local control rates of 85-95% in T1-class tumor and 60-90% in T2. Whatever the treatment option, smoking cessation, close surveillance and cardiovascular prevention enable screening of other oncologic locations and limit onset of the other pathologies implicated in most deaths.

Abstract
Background To conserve laryngeal function and elevate living quality of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients, we designed antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS-ODNs) to reduce expression of ATM and to enhance the apoptosis of hep-2 (Human epidermoid laryngeal carcinoma) cells to radiation in vitro and in vivo. Methods The expression of ATM mRNA and protein in hep-2 cells were examined by real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting respectively. Clonogenic survival assay was carried out to detect the survival ability of hep-2 cells after irradiation, and analyzed the cell apoptosis by flow cytometry. The volume of solid tumors was measured, while TUNEL assay and western blotting used to analyze cell apoptosis and protein expression after irradiation. Results The relative ATM mRNA and protein expression in hep-2 cells treated with ATM AS-ODNs were decreased to 11.03 ± 2.51% and 48.14 ± 5.53% of that in untreated cells respectively (P <0.05). After irradiation, the survival fraction (SF) of cells treated with ATM AS-ODNs was lower than that of other groups at the same dose of radiation (P < 0.05). The inhibition rate in hep-2 cells solid tumor exposed to X-ray alone was 5.95 ± 4.52%, while it was 34.28 ± 2.43% in the group which irradiated in combination with the treatment of ATM AS-ODNs (P < 0.05). The apoptotic index for the group irradiated in combination with ATM AS-ODNs injection was 17.12 ± 4.2%, which was significantly higher than that of others (P < 0.05). Conclusion AS-ODNs of ATM reduce ATM expression and enhance hep-2 cells apoptosis to radiation in vitro and in vivo.
