Genes (Basel) 2024; 15:556. [PMID: 38790185 PMCID: PMC11120884 DOI: 10.3390/genes15050556] [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: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional deficiencies are frequently observed in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) undergoing radiation therapy. microRNAs (miRNAs) were found to play an important role in the development of metabolic disorders throughout regulation of genes involved in inflammatory responses. This study aimed to explore the correlation between pre-treatment miR-5682 expression and parameters reflecting nutritional deficits in laryngeal cancer (LC) patients subjected to radiotherapy (RT). METHODS Expression of miR-5682 was analyzed in plasma samples of 56 male LC individuals. Nutritional status of LC patients was assessed using anthropometric and laboratory parameters, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and clinical questionnaires. RESULTS A high expression of miR-5682 was associated with significantly lower values of BMI, fat mass, fat-free mass and plasma albumin at selected periods of RT course. miR-5682 allowed us to distinguish between patients classified with both SGA-C and low albumin level from other LC patients with 100% sensitivity and 69.6% specificity (AUC = 0.820; p < 0.0001). Higher expression of studied miRNA was significantly associated with shorter median overall survival (OS) in LC patients (HR = 2.26; p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS analysis of miR-5682 expression demonstrates a potential clinical utility in selection of LC patients suffering from nutritional deficiencies developing as a consequence of RT-based therapy.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5096. [PMID: 37894464 PMCID: PMC10604942 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15205096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the second most common cancer among head and neck cancers. Despite a lower incidence of laryngeal carcinoma, new diagnostic techniques, and more targeted therapies, the overall survival has not changed significantly in the last decades, leading to a negative prognosis in advanced stages. Recently, several studies have focused on the identification of biomarkers that may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of LSCC. Reviewing the literature on the main databases, this study aims to investigate the role of some biomarkers in LSCC that are correlated with oxidative stress and inflammation: heat shock proteins; metallothioneins; nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2; heme oxygenase; cyclooxygenase-2; and micro ribonucleic acids. This review shows that biomarker expression depends on the type, grade of differentiation, stage, and site of carcinoma. In addition, the role of these biomarkers in LSCC is still little-known and little-studied. However, the study of biomarker expression and the detection of a possible correlation with patients' epidemiological, clinicopathological, and therapeutics data may lead to better awareness and knowledge of the tumor, to the identification of the best therapeutic strategy, and the most proper follow-up protocol tailored for each patient. In conclusion, the achievement of these goals may improve the prognosis of LSCC patients.

Noncoding RNA 2023; 9:54. [PMID: 37736900 PMCID: PMC10514860 DOI: 10.3390/ncrna9050054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) are often diagnosed at advanced stages, incurring significant high mortality and morbidity. Several microRNAs (miRs) have been identified as pivotal players in the onset and advancement of HNSCCs, operating as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Distinctive miR patterns identified in tumor samples, as well as in serum, plasma, or saliva, from patients have significant clinical potential for use in the diagnosis and prognosis of HNSCCs and as potential therapeutic targets. The aim of this study was to identify previous systematic reviews with meta-analysis data and clinical trials that showed the most promising miRs in HNSCCs, enclosing them into a biomolecular signature to test the prognostic value on a cohort of HNSCC patients according to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Three electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct) and one registry (the Cochrane Library) were investigated, and a combination of keywords such as "signature microRNA OR miR" AND "HNSCC OR LSCC OR OSCC OR oral cancer" were searched. In total, 15 systematic literature reviews and 76 prognostic clinical reports were identified for the study design and inclusion process. All survival index data were extracted, and the three miRs (miR-21, miR-155, and miR-375) most investigated and presenting the largest number of patients included in the studies were selected in a molecular biosignature. The difference between high and low tissue expression levels of miR-21, miR-155, and miR-375 for OS had an HR = 1.28, with 95% CI: [0.95, 1.72]. In conclusion, the current evidence suggests that miRNAs have potential prognostic value to serve as screening tools for clinical practice in HNSCC follow-up and treatment. Further large-scale cohort studies focusing on these miRNAs are recommended to verify the clinical utility of these markers individually and/or in combination.

Abstract
Head and neck carcinoma (HNSC) is often diagnosed at advanced stage, incurring poor patient outcome. Despite of advances in chemoradiation and surgery approaches, limited improvements in survival rates of HNSC have been observed over the last decade. Accumulating evidences have demonstrated the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in carcinogenesis. In this context, we sought to identify a miRNA signature associated with the survival time in patients with HNSC. This study proposed a survival estimation method called HNSC-Sig that identified a miRNA signature consists of 25 miRNAs associated with the survival in 133 patients with HNSC. HNSC-Sig achieved 10-fold cross validation a mean correlation coefficient and a mean absolute error of 0.85 ± 0.01 and 0.46 ± 0.02 years, respectively, between actual and estimated survival times. The survival analysis revealed that five miRNAs, hsa-miR-3605-3p, hsa-miR-629-3p, hsa-miR-3127-5p, hsa-miR-497-5p, and hsa-miR-374a-5p, were significantly associated with prognosis in patients with HNSC. Comparing the relative expression difference of top 10 prioritized miRNAs, eight miRNAs, hsa-miR-629-3p, hsa-miR-3127-5p, hsa-miR-221-3p, hsa-miR-501-5p, hsa-miR-491-5p, hsa-miR-149-3p, hsa-miR-3934-5p, and hsa-miR-3170, were significantly expressed between cancer and normal groups. In addition, biological relevance, disease association, and target interactions of the miRNA signature were discussed. Our results suggest that identified miRNA signature have potential to serve as biomarker for diagnosis and clinical practice in HNSC.

Abstract
Laryngeal cancer (LC)is the malignancy of the larynx (voice box). The majority of LC are squamous cell carcinomas. Many risk factors were reported to be associated with LC as tobacco use, obesity, alcohol intake, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and asbestos exposure. Besides, epigenetics as non-coding nucleic acids also have a great role in LC. miRNAs are short nucleic acid molecules that can modulate multiple cellular processes by regulating the expression of their genes. Therefore, LC progression, apoptosis evasions, initiation, EMT, and angiogenesis are associated with dysregulated miRNA expressions. miRNAs also could have some vital signaling pathways such as mTOR/P-gp, Wnt/-catenin signaling, JAK/STAT, KRAS, and EGF. Besides, miRNAs also have a role in the modulation of LC response to different therapeutic modalities. In this review, we have provided a comprehensive and updated overview highlighting the microRNAs biogenesis, general biological functions, regulatory mechanisms, and signaling dysfunction in LC carcinogenesis, in addition to their clinical potential for LC diagnosis, prognosis, and chemotherapeutics response implications.

Abstract
Laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the head and neck region, with a poor survival rate (5-year overall survival 50-80%) as a consequence of an advanced-stage diagnosis and high recurrence rate. Tobacco smoking and alcohol abuse are the main risk factors of LSCC development. An early diagnosis of LSCC, a prompt detection of recurrence and a more precise monitoring of the efficacy of different treatment modalities are currently needed to reduce the mortality. Therefore, the identification of effective diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for LSCC is crucial to guide disease management and improve clinical outcomes. In the past years, a dysregulated expression of small non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), has been reported in many human cancers, including LSCC, and many miRNAs have been explored for their diagnostic and prognostic potential and proposed as biomarkers. We searched electronic databases for original papers that were focused on miRNAs and LSCC, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. According to the outcome, 566 articles were initially screened, of which 177 studies were selected and included in the analysis. In this systematic review, we provide an overview of the current literature on the function and the potential diagnostic and prognostic role of tissue and circulating miRNAs in LSCC.

Abstract
Laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC) accounts for almost 25-30% of all head and neck squamous cell cancers and is clustered according to the affected districts, as this determines distinct tendency to recur and metastasize. A major role for numerous genetic alterations in driving the onset and progression of this neoplasm is emerging. However, major efforts are still required for the identification of molecular markers useful for both early diagnosis and prognostic definition of LSCC that is still characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. Non-coding RNAs appear the most promising as they circulate in all the biological fluids allowing liquid biopsy determination, as well as due to their quick and characteristic modulation useful for non-invasive detection and monitoring of cancer. Other critical aspects are related to recent progress in circulating tumor cells and DNA detection, in metastatic status and chemo-refractoriness prediction, and in the functional interaction of LSCC with chronic inflammation and innate immunity. We review all these aspects taking into account the progress of the technologies in the field of next generation sequencing.

Abstract
Simple Summary Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. It arises from the epithelium of the upper aerodigestive tract. Increasing evidence suggests that there is a significant role of microRNAs in HNSCC formation and progression. The aim of this study was to explore and compare the expression of HNSCC related miRNAs in tumor vs neighboring healthy tissue of HNSCC patients with tumors located in either the oral cavity, oropharynx, or larynx. Our results demonstrated that expression of these miRNAs was significantly different not only between healthy and tumor tissues, but also among tumor locations. Further analysis indicated that microRNA expression could be used to distinguish between tumor and healthy tissues, and prognose the overall survival of patients. Abstract Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. These tumors originate from epithelial cells of the upper aerodigestive tract. HNSCC tumors in different regions can have significantly different molecular characteristics. While many microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be involved in the regulation of the carcinogenesis and pathogenesis of HNSCC, new HNSCC related miRNAs are still being discovered. The aim of this study was to explore potential miRNA biomarkers that can be used to diagnose HNSCC and prognose survival of HNSCC patients. For this purpose, we chose a panel of 12 miRNAs: miR-146a-5p, miR-449a, miR-126-5p, miR-34a-5p, miR-34b-5p, miR-34c-5p, miR-217-5p, miR-378c, miR-6510-3p, miR-96-5p, miR-149-5p, and miR-133a-5p. Expression of these miRNAs was measured in tumor tissue and neighboring healthy tissue collected from patients diagnosed with HNSCC (n = 79) in either the oral cavity, oropharynx, or larynx. We observed a pattern of differentially expressed miRNAs at each of these cancer locations. Our study showed that some of these miRNAs, separately or in combination, could serve as biomarkers distinguishing between healthy and tumor tissue, and their expression correlated with patients’ overall survival.

Abstract
Background Laryngeal carcinoma is a primary malignant tumor originating from the laryngeal mucosa, and its pathogenesis is not fully understood. It is a rare type of cancer that shows a downward trend in the 5-year survival rate. In clinical practice, dysregulated microRNAs are often observed in patients with laryngeal cancer. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have confirmed that the strong biomarker potential of microRNAs. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify and highlight multiple microRNAs as biomarkers for disease prognosis in patients with laryngeal cancer. Methods We actively searched the systematic reviews in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library to select the studies that met the proposed guidelines. A total of 5307 patients with laryngeal cancer were included in this study to evaluate the association between microRNAs expression levels and patient outcomes. For overall survival in the clinical stage, a hazard ratio (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) are calculated to assess the effect of survival. Results A total of 36 studies on microRNAs and laryngeal cancer recovery were included in this meta-analysis. The selected endpoints for these studies included overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).The comorbidities of overexpression and underexpression of microRNAs were 1.13 (95% CI 1.06–1.20, P < 0.05) and 1.10 (95% CI 1.00–1.20, P < 0.05), respectively. Conclusion MiRNA-100, miRNA-155, miRNA-21, miRNA-34a, miRNA-195 and miR-let-7 are expected to be potential noninvasive and simple markers for laryngeal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies have explored the relationship between the expression level of miRNAs and the prognosis of patients with laryngeal cancer (LC). However, the prognostic value of miRNA in LC patients has not been comprehensively evaluated. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were extensively searched for all studies published before the end of February 2020 that investigated the correlation between miRNA expression level and clinical prognosis in patients with LC. RESULTS Twenty-one studies involving 1784 patients were included in our meta-analysis. The survival endpoints of OS and DFS were 1.69 (95% CI 1.45-1.98; p < 0.05) and 3.62 (95% CI 2.34-5.62; p < 0.05), respectively. Both OS and DFS results were statistically significant. Subgroup analyses were performed by evaluating the effects of miR-196b, miR-375, and miR-21 on OS and the effects of miR-34c-5p on DFS. The results obtained for miR-196b and miR-34c-5p were statistically significant. CONCLUSION The results indicate that miRNAs, as prognostic biomarkers for LC, play an important role in clinical value. In particular, miR-196b and miR-34c-5p have the potential to be used as prognostic biomarkers. However, further large-scale cohort studies based on these miRNAs are urgently needed to validate their clinical value and help determine the direction of future clinical work in the area.

Abstract
Background Kawasaki disease (KD), which is characterized by vasculitis, is prone to occur in patients under 5 years of age, has an ambiguous etiology, and displays coronary artery lesions as the chief complication. Previous studies have linked miRNA‐149 to cancers, and rs2292832 T>C is related to allergic diseases and inflammatory bowel disease, which both show immune system disorders and coronary artery disease. Therefore, we performed a study concentrating on the association between the miRNA‐149 rs2292832 T>C polymorphism and KD susceptibility. Methods The subjects enrolled were 532 children with KD and 623 controls. We used TaqMan real‐time PCR to obtain the genotypes of the rs2292832 T>C polymorphism. Results Ultimately, no significant association was found between the miRNA‐149 rs2292832 T>C polymorphism and KD susceptibility, even in stratification analysis. Conclusion Our results indicated that in southern Chinese patients, the miRNA‐149 rs2292832 T>C polymorphism did not affect KD susceptibility, which needs to be further confirmed.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY 2019; 12:133-141.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized to modulate the progression of tumorigenesis by serving as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Despite the involvement of miR-181a and miR-203 in several cancers as has been substantiated, their roles in laryngeal carcinoma (LC) remain unclear. In this study, the abundances of miR-181a, miR-203 and activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2) mRNA in LC cell lines were detected by RT-qPCR. Western blot was performed to detect the protein levels of N-cadherin, E-cadherin and ATF2. Cell migration and invasion ability were assessed by Trans-well assay. The putative binding sites between miR-181a or miR-203 and ATF2 were predicted using Bioinformatics software and further validated by Dual-Luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Results showed reduced abundances of miR-181a and miR-203 in LC cell lines. Introduction of miR-181a or miR-203 reduced cell migration and invasion, which was further confirmed by the reduction of N-cadherin and increase of E-cadherin in LC cells. ATF2 was identified to be a potential target of miR-181a and miR-203. Absence of ATF2 overturned the stimulatory effects of anti-miR-181a and anti-miR-203 on cell migration and invasion in LC cells. Our findings suggested that miR-181a and miR-203 attenuated cell migration and invasion ability by directly targeting ATF2 in LC, providing novel insight into the regulatory mechanisms of miR-181a and miR-203 in LC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Until now, little is known about the role of miRNAs in the invasion and metastasis of Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the relationship between microRNA and the invasion and metastasis of LSCC. MATERIAL AND METHODS The highly metastatic laryngocarcinoma cells were obtained from the established animal model with spontaneous lymph node metastasis of LSCC in our previous study. MicroRNA expression profiling and bioinformatic analysis were performed to analyze the microRNA expression changes in the highly metastatic laryngocarcinoma cells and the parental tumor cells (HEP-2). RT-PCR was performed for further validation of the result of microarray. RESULTS A total of 40 microRNAs were found to be significantly altered in the highly metastatic laryngocarcinoma cells compared to controls. Bioinformatic analysis identified that 19 key microRNAs might involve in LSCC development. Moreover, RT-PCR confirmed that miR-25, miR-100, miR-125b-5p and let-7g were differentially expressed in different laryngocarcinoma cells and human tumor specimens. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE Our findings suggest that microRNA play an important role in the invasion and metastasis of LSCC, and provide the clues for studying the function of microRNA as well as opportunities to analyze the complex molecular abnormalities driving LSCC progression.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that play critical roles in the regulatory mechanisms involving cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and tumorigenesis. Recent research efforts have been conducted to apply these discoveries into clinical functions, including the early diagnosis and therapeutic outcome of patients with cancer. Previous studies have shown that microRNA-149 (miR-149) is dysregulated in various human cancers and exerts its effects on tumorigenesis and tumour progression. In this review, we summarized the potential roles of miR-149 dysregulation and its target genes during tumorigenesis and clinical treatment of human cancers.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) represents a major hindrance to the efficacy of cancer chemotherapeutics. While surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy can be used to reduce tumor size, the subsequent appearance of drug resistant cells is a frequent problem. One of the main contributors to the development of MDR is increased expression of multi-drug resistant protein 1 (MDR1), also known as P-glycoprotein (P-gp). P-gp is a membrane-associated efflux pump that can efficiently remove internalized taxane-base chemotherapeutics thus preventing drug accumulation and maintaining cellular viability. Consequently, investigation into the molecular mechanisms responsible for regulation of P-gp expression is necessary to facilitate treatment of MDR tumors. Using molecular and biochemical approaches, we identified that the micro-RNA, miRNA149, contributes to the development of MDR within malignant mesothelioma cells by regulating the expression of MDR1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Several studies have demonstrated that abnormal glutathione peroxidases 1 (Gpx1) expression can influence the biological behavior of malignant cells. However, the roles of Gpx1 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remain unknown. The purpose of this study is to analyze the Gpx1 expression and prognostic significance in LSCC patients. METHODS Gpx1 mRNA levels in laryngeal tissues were determined by qRT-PCR. Meanwhile, We examined the expression levels of Gpx1 protein in 140 primary tumor tissues and 28 cases of normal tissues by immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis on tissue microarrays (TMA). RESULTS Our results revealed that the frequency of high Gpx1 was significantly higher in cancer tissue compared to normal surgical margins; Gpx1 expression correlated with clinical features and overall survival (OS). Gpx1 overexpression was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (P=0.023) and TNM stage (P=0.008); Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that patients with high Gpx1 expression had worse prognoses than patients with low Gpx1 expression; By multivariate analysis, we revealed that high Gpx1 expression level (HR 2.101, 95%CI 1.011-4.367; P=0.047) was an independent prognostic factor of survival in LSCC patients. CONCLUSION We speculate that Gpx1 can be applied to predict the prognosis in LSCC patients.
