Arch Oral Biol 2024; 160:105898. [PMID: 38278126 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2024.105898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a prevalent and complex group of malignancies with increasing incidence globally. Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) play a crucial role in alcohol metabolism, and their polymorphisms have been linked to HNC risk. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the association between ADH polymorphisms and susceptibility to HNCs, incorporating additional analyses and adding more studies to increase power and accuracy of the results. DESIGN Subgroup analysis, meta-regression analysis, and sensitivity analyses were conducted to explore potential differences within the data and assess the stability of pooled odds ratios (ORs). To mitigate the risk of false conclusions from meta-analyses, a trial sequential analysis was performed. RESULTS For ADH1B rs1229984, the pooled OR (95 % confidence interval (CI)) was 0.73 (0.65, 0.82), 0.42 (0.35, 0.50), 0.57 (0.44, 0.73), 0.56 (0.50, 0.62), and 0.80 (0.73, 0.88), as well as for ADH7 rs1573496, the pooled OR was 0.72 (0.62, 0.85), 0.36 (0.17, 0.74), 0.76 (0.64, 0.91), 0.80 (0.71, 0.91), and 0.38 (0.18, 0.78) with a p < 0.05 in all allelic, homozygous, heterozygous, recessive, and dominant models, respectively. However, no significant association was found between the ADH7 rs1154460 and rs284787 polymorphisms and the risk of HNC with pooled ORs of 1.11 (p = 0.19) and 1.09 (p = 0.24) for the recessive model, respectively. The ethnicities, tumor subsites, control sources, sample sizes, quality scores, and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium statuses were confounding factors. CONCLUSION The ADH1B rs1229984 and ADH7 rs1573496 polymorphisms are significantly associated with a reduced risk of HNC.

Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2023; 169:528-538. [PMID: 36758951 DOI: 10.1002/ohn.266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/03/2022] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Because of the high costs associated with early-stage laryngeal carcinoma diagnosis and prognosis prediction, this study attempts to find valuable targets to establish a novel predictive model by focusing on the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) genotype and other peripheral blood markers. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary comprehensive hospital. METHODS From January 2011 to January 2021, 362 cases of laryngeal carcinoma were included and divided into 2 groups in this retrospective analysis. Information on medical history, alcohol, and tobacco consumption habits, ALDH2 genotypes, and other peripheral blood markers was collected. Endpoints of the current study included disease-free survival and overall survival. A nomogram model for overall survival was established and evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS A total of 236 patients were included in the training cohort, and the other 126 were included in the validation cohort. The median follow-up of the patients was 9.6 years (interquartile range: 7.5-12.5 years). Peripheral fibrinogen, hemoglobin, and ALDH2 genotypes were significantly associated with an increase in laryngeal carcinoma mortality rate on Kaplan-Meier curves. The ROC curve showed that the effectiveness of overall survival prediction by the nomogram model was better than that of traditional clinical staging. CONCLUSION A prognostic nomogram of laryngeal carcinoma patients involving ALDH2 and peripheral blood markers and T and N stages was constructed and validated.

BMC Cancer 2023; 23:607. [PMID: 37391706 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11052-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a genetic variation that occurs when a single nucleotide base in the DNA sequence varies between individuals and is present in at least 1% of the population. Genetic variants in FAM13A are associated with different types of chronic respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis (CF), and lung cancer. However, there is little literature on the association of FAM13A genotypes with oral cancer. Therefore, this project will explore the correlation between the FAM13A genotype and the formation of oral cancer. METHODS In this project, we will examine the presence of gene polymorphisms gene polymorphisms of rs1059122, rs3017895, rs3756050, and rs7657817 in the FAM13A gene exon, and combine the expression of these genes to try to clarify the impact of the FAM13A gene polymorphism on oral cancer. First, four loci (rs1059122, rs3017895, rs3756050, and rs7657817) of the FAM13A SNP were genotyped using TaqMan allelic discrimination. RESULTS By estimating OR and AOR, FAM13A exhibited different genotypic variables in four SNPs that were not statistically significant between controls and patients with oral cancer. The results of the general analysis showed that different distributions of allelic types did not affect clinical stage, tumour size, lymph node invasion, distant metastasis, and pathological differentiation status. However, in the alcohol drinking group specifically, patients with the rs3017895 SNP G genotype had a 3.17-fold (95% CI, 1.102-9.116; p = 0.032) increase in the well differentiated state of cells compared to patients with the A allele. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that the SNP rs3017895 FAM13A could contribute to oral cancer. More sample studies are needed in the future to confirm our results and more functional studies are needed to investigate their relevant roles in the development of oral cancer.

Abstract
Objective: Natural products in diet have shown a potential role in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is a great candidate because of its properties of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer, but little is known about its effect on head and neck cancer. 6-Shogaol is an active compound derived from Ginger. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the possible anticancer effects of 6-shogaol, a major ginger derivate, on head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) and the underlying mechanisms. Material and Methods: Two HNSCC cell lines, SCC4 and SCC25, were used in this study. Both SCC4 and SCC25 cells were kept as control or treated with 6-shogaol for 8 and 24 hours and then the cell apoptosis and cell cycle progression of treated cells were examined by PI and Annexin V-FITC double stain and flow cytometry analysis. The Cleaved caspase 3, phosphorylations of ERK1/2 and p38 kinases were examined by Western blot analysis. Results: The results showed that 6-shogaol significantly initiated the G2/M phase arrest of the cell cycle and apoptosis to inhibit the survival of both cell lines. Moreover, these responses could be regulated by ERK1/2 and p38 signaling. And, finally, we also demonstrated that 6-shogaol could enhance the cytotoxicity of cisplatin in HNSCC cells. Conclusion: Our data provided new insights to understand the potential pharmaceutical efficacy of a ginger derivate, 6-shogaol, in antagonizing HNSCC survival. The present study suggests that 6-shogaol is a potential novel candidate for anti-HNSCCs therapy.

Development and Preliminary Characterization of Polyester-Urethane Microparticles Used in Curcumin Drug Delivery System for Oropharyngeal Cancer. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:1689. [PMID: 36422227 PMCID: PMC9693431 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58111689] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Curcumin (Cc) as an active substance is known for its anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antioxidant, and anti-carcinogenic effects, together with its role in cholesterol regulation, and its use in different gastrointestinal derangements. On the other hand, curcumin can be used for its properties as an inactive substance, with Cc particles being more often tested in pharmaceutical formulations for drug delivery, with promising safety records and kinetics. The aim of this research was to obtain and characterize polyurethane microparticles that can be used as a carrier with a controlled Cc release. Materials and Methods: The in vitro samples were characterized by the Zetasizer procedure, and UV-Vis spectroscopy, while the in-vivo measurements on human subjects were performed by non-invasive skin assays (trans-epidermal water loss, erythema, and skin hydration). A total of 16 patients with oropharyngeal cancer stages II and III in equal proportions were recruited for participation. Results: The experimental values of sample characteristics using the Zetasizer identified a mean structural size of 215 nm in the polyester-urethane preparate (PU), compared to 271 nm in the curcumin-based PU. Although the size was statistically significantly different, the IPDI and Zeta potential did not differ significantly (22.91 mV vs. 23.74 mV). The average age during the study period was 57.6 years for patients in the PU group, respectively, and 55.1 years in those who received the curcumin preparations. The majority of oropharyngeal cancers were of HPV-related etiology. There were no significant side effects; 75.0% of patients in the PU group reporting no side effects, compared to 87.5% in the Cc group. The 48 h TEWL measurement at the end of the experiment found a statistically significant difference between the PU and the Cc group (2.2 g/h/m2 vs. 2.6 g/h/m2). The erythema assessment showed a starting measurement point for both research groups with a 5.1-unit difference. After 48 h, the difference between PU and PU_Cc was just 1.7 units (p-value = 0.576). The overall difference compared to the reference group with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) was statistically significant at a 95% significance level. Conclusions: Our findings indicate the obtaining of almost homogeneous particles with a medium tendency to form agglomerations, with a good capacity of encapsulation (around 60%), a medium release rate, and a non-irritative potential. Therefore, this polyester-urethane with Cc microparticles can be tested in other clinical evaluations.

Abstract
Background The high prevalence of the risk factors of head and neck cancer (HNC) amongst senior secondary (high) school students in Nigeria is an issue of serious public health concern. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the knowledge of HNC among them. Methods This cross-sectional study surveyed 2,530 senior secondary school students in Nigeria, assessed their knowledge of HNC, using a self-administered questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using the SPSS version 25 software. Results The mean (±SD) age of the respondents was 16.34 (±2.0) years. More than half (1418; 56.6%) of them were males, 530 (20.9%) were schooling in the north-central geopolitical zone of Nigeria, 1,860 (73.5%) were in public schools, 554 (21.9%) were boarding students, and 817 (33.5%) were in Senior Secondary (SS) 3 class. Only 789 (31.2%) respondents were aware of HNC, out of which: 69.2% of them had below-average scores in their overall assessment on HNC; 256 (32.4%) had ever received education on HNC and 81.2% indicated a positive interest in knowing more about HNC. The factors predicting above-average score on knowledge about HNC among the respondents were: being in SS3 class (OR=1.73; 95% CI=1.17 - 2.56), having been educated about HNC (OR=1.69; 95%CI=1.21 - 2.35) and having the interest to know more about HNC (OR=1.88; 95%CI=1.21 - 2.92). Bivariate analysis showed that these factors had statistically significant association (or relationship) with above-average score on knowledge about HNC (pvalues<0.05). Conclusion Majority of the surveyed students were willing to know more about HNC. The use of a properly planned massive school-based HNC education programs may go a long way in educating this population group on HNC.

[PMID: 35670037 PMCID: PMC9844601 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND ADH1B rs1229984 and ALDH2 rs671 are the specifically prevalent functional variants in the East Asians. These variants, which result in a dramatic change in enzyme activity, are highly associated with alcohol-related disorders and cancer. Previous studies focusing on the additive and synergic effects of the variants are few and inconsistent. The aim of the research was to evaluate the associations of ADH1B rs1229984 and ALDH2 rs671 with the risks of alcohol-related disorder and cancer. METHODS This cohort study enrolled 42,665 participants from the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative database, including 19,522 and 20,534, ADH1B and ALDH2 carriers, respectively. The associations between the two variants and cancer risk were analyzed by univariable and multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Compared with the noncarriers, the ADH1B rs1229984 variant had a stronger effect on alcohol-related disorders and was related to an increased risk of alcohol-related cancers. The CC genotype of ADH1B rs1229984 was significantly associated with cancer of the larynx, pharynx, and nasal cavities [odds ratio (OR) = 1.56, p = 0.0009], cancer of the pancreas (OR = 1.66, p = 0.018), and cancer of the esophagus (OR = 4.10, p < 0.001). Participants who carried the rs1229984 TC/CC and rs671 GG genotypes were at higher risk of esophageal cancer (OR = 3.02, p < 0.001). The risk of esophageal cancer was increased by 381% (OR = 4.81, p < 0.001) in those carrying the rs1229984 TC/CC and rs671 GA/AA genotypes. CONCLUSION rs1229984 and rs671 are common and functionally important genetic variants in the Taiwanese population. Our findings provide strong evidence of additive and synergic risks of ADH1B and ALDH2 variants for alcohol-related disorders and cancer. The results suggested that are reduction in alcohol consumption should be advised as a preventive measure for high-risk patients carrying ADH1B rs1229984 C or the ALDH2 rs671 A allele.

Alcohol metabolism genes and risks of site-specific cancers in Chinese adults: An 11-year prospective study. Int J Cancer 2022; 150:1627-1639. [PMID: 35048370 PMCID: PMC7612513 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.33917] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Two genetic variants that alter alcohol metabolism, ALDH2-rs671 and ADH1B-rs1229984, can modify oesophageal cancer risk associated with alcohol consumption in East Asians, but their associations with other cancers remain uncertain. ALDH2-rs671 G>A and ADH1B-rs1229984 G>A were genotyped in 150 722 adults, enrolled from 10 areas in China during 2004 to 2008. After 11 years' follow-up, 9339 individuals developed cancer. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for site-specific cancers associated with these genotypes, and their potential interactions with alcohol consumption. Overall, the A-allele frequency was 0.21 for ALDH2-rs671 and 0.69 for ADH1B-rs1229984, with A-alleles strongly associated with lower alcohol consumption. Among men, ALDH2-rs671 AA genotype was associated with HR of 0.69 (95% confidence interval: 0.53-0.90) for IARC alcohol-related cancers (n = 1900), compared to GG genotype. For ADH1B-rs1229984, the HRs of AG and AA vs GG genotype were 0.80 (0.69-0.93) and 0.75 (0.64-0.87) for IARC alcohol-related cancers, 0.61 (0.39-0.96) and 0.61 (0.39-0.94) for head and neck cancer (n = 196) and 0.68 (0.53-0.88) and 0.60 (0.46-0.78) for oesophageal cancer (n = 546). There were no significant associations of these genotypes with risks of liver (n = 651), colorectal (n = 556), stomach (n = 725) or lung (n = 1135) cancers. Among male drinkers, the risks associated with higher alcohol consumption were greater among ALDH2-rs671 AG than GG carriers for head and neck, oesophageal and lung cancers (Pinteraction < .02). Among women, only 2% drank alcohol regularly, with no comparable associations observed between genotype and cancer. These findings support the causal effects of alcohol consumption on upper aerodigestive tract cancers, with ALDH2-rs671 AG genotype further exacerbating the risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laryngeal carcinoma, the most common among head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), induces 1% of all cancer deaths. Curcumin the active constituent of turmeric, is shown to be effective in the treatment of various cancers. In the present study, we explored the mechanistic role of bis-demethoxy curcumin analog (BDMC-A) as a chemotherapeutic agent. We investigated its inhibitory effect on invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis in human laryngeal carcinoma (Hep-2) cells in comparison with curcumin. METHODS The effect of curcumin and BDMC-A on transcription factors (NF-κB, p65, c-Jun, c-Fos, STAT3, 5, PPAR-γ, β-catenin, COX-2, MMP-9, VEGF, TIMP-2) involved in signal transduction cascade, invasion, and angiogenesis in Hep-2 cells were quantified using Western blotting and RT-PCR technique. ELISA was used to measure the pro-inflammatory markers in Hep-2 cells treated with curcumin and BDMC-A. RESULTS The results showed that BDMC-A inhibits the transcription factors NF-κB, p65, c-Jun, c-Fos, STAT3, STAT5, PPAR-γ and β-catenin, which are responsible for tumor progression and malignancy. Moreover, BDMC-A treatment downregulated MMP-9, VEGF, TGF- β, IL-6 and IL-8 and upregulated TIMP-2 levels. The effects were more significant compared to curcumin. CONCLUSION Our overall results revealed that BDMC-A more effectively inhibited the markers of invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis in comparison with curcumin.

Abstract
Surgical removal of the larynx (total laryngectomy) offers a curative approach to patients with advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal (squamous cell) cancer without distant metastases. Particularly in T4a carcinoma, laryngectomy seems prognostically superior to primary radio(chemo)therapy. Further relevant indications for laryngectomy include massive laryngeal dysfunction associated with aspiration and recurrence after radio(chemo)therapy, resulting in salvage surgery. The surgical procedure including neck dissection is highly standardised and safe. The resulting aphonia can be compensated by functional rehabilitation (e.g., voice prosthesis) associated with a significant quality of life improvement. This article presents an overview of indications, preoperative diagnostics, surgical procedures, including new developments (robotics), possible complications, the choice of adjuvant treatment, alternative therapeutic approaches, rehabilitation and prognosis. In summary, total laryngectomy still represents a relevant surgical procedure in modern head and neck oncology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) plays an important role in the alcohol detoxification and acetaldehyde metabolism. Published studies have demonstrated some inconsistent associations between ALDH2 rs671 G>A polymorphism and head and neck cancer (HNC) risk. METHODS A meta-analysis was performed to provide pooled data on the association between the ALDH2 rs671 G>A polymorphism and HNC risk. Electronic databases were searched to identify relevant studies. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to examine the pooled effect size of each genetic model. In addition, heterogeneity test, accumulative analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias were conducted to test the statistical power. RESULTS Thirteen publications (14 independent case-control studies) involving 10,939 subjects were selected. The stratified analysis indicated that both light/moderated drinking (e.g., GA vs. GG: OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.16 to 1.86, p < 0.01, I2 = 81.1%) and heavy drinking would increase HNC risk with rs671 G>A mutation (e.g., GA vs. GG: OR = 2.30, 95% CI = 1.11 to 4.77, p = 0.03, I2 = 81.9%). CONCLUSIONS In summary, this meta-analysis suggested that the ALDH2 rs671 G>A polymorphism may play an important synergistic effect in the pathogenesis of HNC development in East Asians.

Abstract
Because beer is one of the most common alcoholic beverages consumed in the world, this research adopted an expanded theory of planned behavior (TPB) perspective to understand why beer consumers purchase beer. This study investigated the effects of injunctive norms, descriptive norms, attitude, and perceived behavioral control on alcohol identity and purchase intention. The possible mediating role of alcohol identity was also investigated. This study was conducted in Taiwan, and a total of 452 beer consumers participated in the survey. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationship among the study variables. The results revealed that alcohol identity positively influences purchase intention, and attitude positively affects alcohol identity and purchase intention. In addition, injunctive norms have a positive influence on alcohol identity, and descriptive norms positively affect purchase intention. In particular, perceived behavioral control has a negative influence on alcohol identity but has a positive influence on purchase intention. This study also found that alcohol identity mediates the attitude–purchase intention relationship. By examining the consumption behavior of beer consumers from the TPB perspective, this study contributed to an understanding of beer consumption behavior.

Abstract
Follow-up studies of Japanese patients who had undergone endoscopic resection (ER) for early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) have reported a high prevalence of metachronous SCC in the upper aerodigestive tract (UAT). This prospective multicenter cohort study followed up 330 Japanese patients after ER of ESCC for a median of 49.4 months. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) for the 12-month period prior to study registration revealed high frequencies of high-risk drinking behaviors: 84 (25.4%) subjects had AUDIT scores of ≥15 points (suspected alcohol dependence) and 121 (36.7%) subjects had AUDIT scores of 8-14 points (hazardous drinking). Seventy-four subjects were metachronously diagnosed with ESCC, and 20 subjects with head and neck SCC (HNSCC). AUDIT scores ≥15 were associated with increases in the total number of HNSCCs per 100 person-years (0.4 for 0-7, 1.2 for 8-14 and 7.1 for ≥15; P < 0.0001). AUDIT scores were progressively associated with the grade of esophageal Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs), a predictor of field cancerization in the UAT. Both an AUDIT score of ≥15 points and the presence of multiple LVLs were independent predictors of metachronous HNSCC [multivariate hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) = 6.98 (1.31-37.09) and 3.19 (1.19-8.54), respectively]. However, a high AUDIT score was not a predictor of metachronous ESCC. In conclusion, high AUDIT scores were markedly frequent in this population and increased the risk of metachronous HNSCC. The assessment of drinking behavior using the AUDIT and the completion of interventions for alcohol problems should be incorporated into the treatment strategy of ESCC. The name of the clinical trial register and the clinical trial registration number: Japan Esophageal Cohort Study, UMIN000001676.

Abstract
Despite increased research, the risks of developing esophageal cancer and of death from this disease, especially among men, have increased worldwide. The goals of this review include an assessment of male predominance of esophageal cancer and an analysis of its high mortality rates. Determination of the genetic and environmental factors associated with esophageal cancer may help explain its male predominance and help design more effective treatments of this disease.

Abstract
Total laryngectomy provides a curative approach for patients with advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer without distant metastasis. Especially in stage cT4a disease, laryngectomy is superior to primary radio(chemo)therapy in retrospective studies. Further relevant indications for the procedure are tumor-related laryngeal dysfunction such as dysphagia and aspiration, as well as cancer recurrence after primary radio(chemo)therapy. The surgical procedure is highly standardized, with an appropriate safety profile. The subsequent loss of voice must be compensated by voice rehabilitation (voice prosthesis, ructus). The current overview provides information about indications for laryngectomy, preoperative clinical diagnostics, the surgical procedure, complications, alternative treatment, rehabilitation, and prognosis. Total laryngectomy remains a standard procedure in modern head and neck oncology.

Abstract
Alcohol drinking is a risk factor for the development of head-and-neck malignancies, including oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal cancers, and coupled with tobacco use, accounts for 75% of oral cancers. We summarized the literature on alcohol-related head and neck cancer (HNC) and identified gaps that represent areas for future investigation. Research indicates that alcohol consumption has not only been linked to the development of primary HNCs, but also to secondary cancers with continued alcohol intake, cancer recurrences, and other poor health outcomes. Given this evidence, several organizations have called for reduction or avoidance of alcohol, particularly in HNC survivors. Despite these strong recommendations, evidence suggests that HNC survivors continue to use alcohol. There is a need to forge collaborations among clinicians, researchers, and social workers, to address this problem of alcohol consumption in the growing population of HNC survivors.

Abstract
Aims We previously demonstrated that acute ethanol administration protects the heart from ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury thorough activation of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2). Here, we characterized the role of acetaldehyde, an intermediate product from ethanol metabolism, and its metabolizing enzyme, ALDH2, in an ex vivo model of cardiac I/R injury. Methods and results We used a combination of homozygous knock-in mice (ALDH2*2), carrying the human inactivating point mutation ALDH2 (E487K), and a direct activator of ALDH2, Alda-1, to investigate the cardiac effect of acetaldehyde. The ALDH2*2 mice have impaired acetaldehyde clearance, recapitulating the human phenotype. Yet, we found a similar infarct size in wild type (WT) and ALDH2*2 mice. Similar to ethanol-induced preconditioning, pre-treatment with 50 μM acetaldehyde increased ALDH2 activity and reduced cardiac injury in hearts of WT mice without affecting cardiac acetaldehyde levels. However, acetaldehyde pre-treatment of hearts of ALDH2*2 mice resulted in a three-fold increase in cardiac acetaldehyde levels and exacerbated I/R injury. Therefore, exogenous acetaldehyde appears to have a bimodal effect in I/R, depending on the ALDH2 genotype. Further supporting an ALDH2 role in cardiac preconditioning, pharmacological ALDH2 inhibition abolished ethanol-induced cardioprotection in hearts of WT mice, whereas a selective activator, Alda-1, protected ALDH2*2 against ethanol-induced cardiotoxicity. Finally, either genetic or pharmacological inhibition of ALDH2 mitigated ischaemic preconditioning. Conclusion Taken together, our findings suggest that low levels of acetaldehyde are cardioprotective whereas high levels are damaging in an ex vivo model of I/R injury and that ALDH2 is a major, but not the only, regulator of cardiac acetaldehyde levels and protection from I/R.

Cancer diagnosis and risk of suicide after accounting for prediagnosis psychiatric care: A matched‐cohort study of patients with incident solid‐organ malignancies. Cancer 2019; 125:2886-2895. [PMID: 31021430 PMCID: PMC10182898 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.32146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2018] [Revised: 03/09/2019] [Accepted: 03/14/2019] [Indexed: 11/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated an association between a diagnosis of cancer and the risk of suicide; however, they failed to account for psychiatric care before a cancer diagnosis, which may confound this relationship. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of a cancer diagnosis on the risk of suicide, accounting for prediagnosis psychiatric care utilization. METHODS All adult residents of Ontario, Canada who were diagnosed with cancer (1 of prostate, breast, colorectal, melanoma, lung, bladder, endometrial, thyroid, kidney, or oral cancer) between 1997 and 2014 were identified. Noncancer controls were matched 4:1 based on sociodemographics, including a psychiatric utilization gradient (PUG) score (with 0 indicating none; 1, outpatient; 2, emergency department; and 3, hospital admission). A marginal, cause-specific hazard model was used to assess the effect of cancer on the risk of suicidal death. RESULTS Among 676,470 patients with cancer and 2,152,682 matched noncancer controls, there were 8.2 and 11.4 suicides per 1000 person-years of follow-up, respectively. Patients with cancer had an overall higher risk of suicidal death compared with matched patients without cancer (hazard ratio, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.22-1.48). This effect was pronounced in the first 50 months after cancer diagnosis (hazard ratio, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.42-1.81); patients with cancer did not demonstrate an increased risk thereafter. Among individuals with a PUG score 0 or 1, those with cancer were significantly more likely to die of suicide compared with controls. There was no difference in suicide risk between patients with cancer and controls for those who had a PUG score of 2 or 3. CONCLUSIONS A cancer diagnosis is associated with increased risk of death from suicide compared with the general population even after accounting for precancer diagnosis psychiatric care utilization. The specific factors underlying the observed associations remain to be elucidated.

Cancer Prev Res (Phila) 2019; 12:247-254. [PMID: 30842089 DOI: 10.1158/1940-6207.capr-18-0449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2018] [Revised: 01/23/2019] [Accepted: 02/27/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Multiple primary tumors (MPT), especially in the hypopharynx and esophagus, are challenging in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Alcohol and alcohol-metabolizing genes were reported to be related to upper digestive tract cancers. Here, we investigated whether the genotypes of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes (ADH1B, ADH1C, and ALDH2) affected patients' susceptibility to developing MPTs. We recruited 659 male patients with HNC between March 1996 and February 2017. Age- and gender-matched controls were also recruited. A total of 164 patients with HNC were identified to have second or third malignancies. The single-nucleotide polymorphisms in ADH1B (rs1229984), ADH1C (rs698), and ALDH2 (rs671) were analyzed by TaqMan assays. The prevalence of ALDH2 *2 allele carriers is significantly higher than that of *1*1 homozygotes for oral cavity (P = 0.013) and oropharyngeal cancers (P = 0.012). For ADH1B, the number of *1 allele carriers is significantly higher than that of *2*2 homozygotes for oropharyngeal (P = 0.017) and hypopharyngeal cancers (P < 0.001). ADH1C (rs698) SNPs are not significantly associated with tumor subsites (all P > 0.05). Polymorphisms in ALDH2 (*2 allele carriers) and ADH1B (*1 allele carriers) significantly increase the risk of developing MPTs in the upper digestive tract [P < 0.001, OR (95% confidence interval (CI): 5.186 (2.444-11.004) and P < 0.05, OR (95% CI): 2.093 (1.149-3.812), respectively]. ALDH2 (rs671) *2 and ADH1B (rs1229984) *1 allele carriers were shown to develop MPTs in the upper digestive tract. Genetic information may be used to identify high-risk patients for the development of MPTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although alcohol drinking is an established risk factor of head and neck cancer (HNC), less is known about its role in the prognosis of HNC. The current study investigated the association between pretreatment alcohol consumption and the overall survival (OS) of HNC patients. METHODS Cox proportional hazards models were performed to evaluate the association between prediagnosis alcohol drinking and the OS of HNC patients. In addition, the influence of the polymorphisms of two ethanol-metabolizing genes, ADH1B and ALDH2, on this relationship was also evaluated. RESULTS The results showed a significant positive dose-response relationship between prediagnosis alcohol use and worse OS of HNC patients. This association was more significant for oropharyngeal cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, and laryngeal cancer than for oral cancer. The association between alcohol use and the poorer OS of HNC patients was mainly through its association with a higher stage of HNC at diagnosis. The worst OS associated with alcohol use was observed among HNC patients with the fast ADH1B and the slow/nonfunctional ALDH2 genotype combination. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis showed a significant positive dose-response relationship between prediagnosis alcohol use and a worse OS of HNC. This association was mainly due to the higher stage of HNC among alcohol drinkers. In addition, the polymorphisms of the ethanol-metabolizing genes, ADH1B and ALDH2, modified the relationship between prediagnosis alcohol use and the OS of HNC patients. IMPACT Prediagnosis alcohol use may be a prognostic indicator of HNC.

Abstract
Objective Various genome-wide association studies (GWASs) identified new head and neck cancer (HNC) susceptibility loci, although the evidence has not been systematically summarized. We performed a systematic review and meta-analyses of the GWASs to identify the most commonly reported genetic loci associated with a risk of HNC. Data Sources We searched the PubMed, ISI Web of Science, SCOPUS, and GWAS databases to retrieve eligible studies, in English or Italian, published until June 1, 2017. Review Methods Only GWASs reporting data on the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and HNC were included. The quality of included studies was evaluated using the Q-Genie tool. Random-effect meta-analyses were performed considering only SNPs with at least 1 significant result from the included articles, and pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Results Seven studies of case-control design were included in the review. Five studies on nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) in Chinese, reporting on 27 different SNPs, were included in meta-analyses. Results show that 6 SNPs ( rs2076483, rs2975042, rs9258122, rs29232, and rs9510787) had an increased pooled estimates for A risk alleles (OR [95% CI]: 1.55 [1.36-1.77], 1.90 [1.69-2.14], 1.47 [1.31-1.65], 1.52 [1.32-1.76], and 1.22 [1.13-1.31], respectively) while G risk allele of rs3129055 reported an OR of 1.49 (95% CI, 1.33-1.67). Conclusion Our systematic review identified 5 SNPs located on chromosome 6 ( rs2076483, rs2975042, rs3129055, rs9258122, and rs29232) and 1 ( rs9510787) on chromosome 13 as significantly associated with an increased risk of NPC in Chinese.

Abstract
Head and neck cancer is one of the most frequent human malignancies worldwide, with a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is cellularly and molecularly heterogeneous, with subsets of undifferentiated cancer cells exhibiting stem cell-like properties, called cancer stem cells (CSCs). Epithelial-mesenchymal transition, gene mutation, and epigenetic modification are associated with the formation of cellular plasticity of tumor cells in HNSCC, contributing to the acquisition of invasive, recurrent, and metastatic properties and therapeutic resistance. Tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a supportive role in the initiation, progression, and metastasis of head and neck cancer. Stromal fibroblasts, vasculature, immune cells, cytokines, and hypoxia constitute the main components of TME in HNSCC, which contributes not only to the acquisition of CSC properties but also to the recurrence and therapeutic resistance of the malignancies. In this review, we discuss the potential mechanisms underlying the development of cellular plasticity, especially the emergence of CSCs, in HNSCC. We also highlight recent studies implicating the complex interplays among TME components, plastic CSCs, tumorigenesis, recurrence, and therapeutic resistance of HNSCC. Finally, we summarize the treatment modalities of HNSCC and reinforce the novel concept of therapeutic targeting CSCs in HNSCC.
