High expression of heat shock protein 10 (Hsp10) is associated with poor prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY 2017; 10:7784-7791.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 10 (Hsp10), located in mitochondria, is a co-chaperone involved in the protein folding and aggregation with Hsp60. Besides, a wide range of other extramitochondrial and extracellular activities, such a mammalian mitochondrial chaperonin including modulation of apoptosis, inflammation, and carcinogenesis, have been reported. Expression of Hsp10 protein in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) and the non-cancerous squamous epithelium was detected using immunohistochemistry we retrospectively evaluated the correlations between Hsp10 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of OSCC. Our results showed that percentage of high expression of Hsp10 in the OSCC was statistically higher than that in the non-cancerous squamous epithelium (P = 0.006). What is more, high Hsp10 expression was significantly associated with shorter overall survival in patients with OSCC (P<0.001). In addition, our results identified that the high expression of Hsp10 was significantly correlated with OSCC patients age, the history of chewing betel nut, pathological grade, lymph node metastasis and radiotherapy after operation (P = 0.008, P = 0.021, P = 0.026, P = 0.008, P = 0.049 respectively). Multivariate Cox regression analysis further identified that high expression of Hsp10 protein was an independent poor prognostic factor for OSCC (P<0.001). High Hsp10 expression might play important roles in the progression of OSCC, and it might act as a novel valuable independent biomarker to predict poor prognosis in patients with OSCC.

[PMID: 24945004 PMCID: PMC4061306 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v2.i6.172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2014] [Revised: 04/21/2014] [Accepted: 05/19/2014] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a subset of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. As a result, traditional paradigms in relation to the management of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma have been changing. Research into HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is rapidly expanding, however many molecular pathological and clinical aspects of the role of HPV remain uncertain and are the subject of ongoing investigation. A detailed search of the literature pertaining to HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma was performed and information on the topic was gathered. In this article, we present an extensive review of the current literature on the role of HPV in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, particularly in relation to epidemiology, risk factors, carcinogenesis, biomarkers and clinical implications. HPV has been established as a causative agent in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and biologically active HPV can act as a prognosticator with better overall survival than HPV-negative tumours. A distinct group of younger patients with limited tobacco and alcohol exposure have emerged as characteristic of this HPV-related subset of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. However, the exact molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis are not completely understood and further studies are needed to assist development of optimal prevention and treatment modalities.
