[PMID: 36713063 PMCID: PMC9880094 DOI: 10.1007/s10616-022-00556-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an epithelial malignant tumor with great challenges of tumor metastasis and drug resistance. Nutlin-3 is a MDM2 inhibitor that can potently activate tumor suppressor gene p53. However, the exact role of Nutlin-3 in OSCC has not been identified yet. SCC-9 cells were treated with 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 μM Nutlin3. MDM2 and p53 protein levels were assessed using western blot analysis. Then, CCK8 assay, clone formation assay, TUNEL staining, wound healing and transwell assays were conducted to analyze the influences of Nutlin3 on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion in SCC-9 cells. Moreover, SCC-9 cells were co-treated with 0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 μM cisplatin and Nutlin3 to determine the effect of Nutlin3 on cisplatin chemosensitivity in OSCC. As expected, Nutlin-3 inhibited MDM2 but restored p53 in OSCC in a concentration-dependent manner. Meanwhile, Nutlin-3 suppressed the proliferation, clone formation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of SCC-9 cells and both boosted the apoptosis. In addition, Nutlin-3 caused a reduced cell viability and an elevated cell apoptosis rate in cisplatin-treated SCC-9 cells, indicating that Nutlin-3 enhanced cisplatin chemosensitivity in OSCC cells. Taken together, Nutlin-3 may suppress tumorigenesis and progression of OSCC and enhance chemosensitivity to cisplatin in OSCC.

Prognostic value of the PIK3CA, AKT, and PTEN mutations in oral squamous cell carcinoma: literature review. Arch Med Sci 2021; 17:207-217.

Abstract
Over 260,000 (2013) new oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cases are reported annually worldwide. Despite development in OSCC management, the outcome is still unsatisfactory. Identification of new molecular markers may be of use in prevention, prognosis, and choice of an appropriate therapy. The intracellular molecular signalling pathway of phosphatidyl-inositol-3-kinase is involved in the process of cell growth, differentiation, migration, and survival. The main components of this pathway: PIK3CA (phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate-3-kinase catalytic subunit α), PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10), and AKT (serine-threonine kinase) are potential objects of research when introducing new therapeutic agents. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the PIK3CA, PTEN, and AKT gene mutations as prognostic factors in OSCC and to describe their role in aggressive disease progression. This is crucial for oral cancer biology understanding and for indicating which direction new clinical treatments should take.

Dynamic evaluation of conditional survival in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma after surgical resection: A large-scale prospective study. Oral Oncol 2020; 104:104639.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To dynamically estimate conditional survival (CS) probabilities for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) after surgical resection. METHOD A large-scale prospective study was performed involving 1147 eligible OSCC patients from December 2002 to June 2018. Follow-up was completed on January 8, 2019. Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to assess prognostic factors related to overall survival (OS). Three-year CS (CS3) of patients who had already survived x years was calculated as the formula CS3 = OS(x+3)/OS(x). RESULTS CS3 estimates at the time of 0, 1, 3, 5-year survival demonstrated a tendency increase over time, and improved from 78.47% to 82.25%, while the postoperative actuarial OS decreased from 78.47% at 3 years to 57.12% at 8 years. Moreover, the differences between CS3 and actuarial OS were more obvious among patients with unfavorable tumor characteristics. Disparities in CS3 across all subgroups of tumor features illustrated more prominent at baseline (d range: 0.24 to 0.40), while the gaps would narrow if those patients have already survived 5 years (d range: -0.01 to 0.18). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that survival profiles of OSCC patients evolve and increase over time following resection, especially for those with unfavorable tumor features at initial diagnosis. CS estimates may provide more accurate prediction and guide surveillance schedules.

Log Odds of Positive Lymph Nodes is Not Superior to the Number of Positive Lymph Nodes in Predicting Overall Survival in Patients With Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2019; 78:305-312. [PMID: 31705864 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2019.09.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2019] [Revised: 08/26/2019] [Accepted: 09/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE It is unclear whether the log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) outperforms the number of positive lymph nodes (LN+) in predicting the overall survival (OS) of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. The specific aim of this study was to compare the prognostic predictive performance of LN+ with LODDS in OSCC patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study was conducted in Fujian, China, from December 2005 to January 2017. Patients' characteristics and clinicopathologic data were obtained through medical records, and follow-up data were obtained by telephone interviews. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the association between LN+ or LODDS and OS in OSCC. Finally, the Harrell concordance index, Akaike information criterion, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were adopted as criteria for assessing the predictive performance of lymph node models. RESULTS For all 706 patients, the 5-year survival rate was 65.69% (95% confidence interval, 0.61 to 0.70) and the mean age at diagnosis was 57.32 ± 11.80 years. Of the patients, 456 were men and 250 were women (ratio of 1.82:1). LN+ and LODDS were significantly associated with a poor prognosis of OSCC patients (all P values for trend < .001). Furthermore, the prognostic value of LODDS was not better than that of LN+. An interesting finding was that there was a J-shaped relationship between the number of negative lymph nodes and OS. The hazard ratio was reduced with each additional negative lymph node dissected up to 24 negative lymph nodes, with no improvement in prognosis beyond this number. Moreover, when the number of negative lymph nodes was greater than 40, the negative lymph nodes suggested a worse prognosis for OSCC patients. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that the discriminatory capability of LODDS was not superior to that of LN+. An interesting finding was that, when the number of negative lymph nodes was greater than 40, the predictive power of LODDS was reduced tremendously.

Abstract
A number of genetic variants were suggested to be associated with oral malignancy, few variants can be replicated. The aim of this study was to identify significant variants that enhanced personal risk prediction for oral malignancy. A total of 360 patients diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma, 486 controls and 17 newly diagnosed patients with OPMD including leukoplakia or oral submucous fibrosis were recruited. Fifteen tagSNPs which were derived from somatic mutations were genotyped and examined in associations with the occurrence of oral malignancy. Environmental variables along with the SNPs data were used to developed risk predictive models for oral malignancy occurrence. The stepwise model analysis was conducted to fit the best model in an economically efficient way. Two tagSNPs, rs28647489 in FAT1 gene and rs550675 in COL9A1 gene, were significantly associated with the risk of oral malignancy. The sensitivity and specificity were 85.7% and 85.5%, respectively (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.91) for predicting oral squamous cell carcinoma occurrence with the combined genetic variants, betel-quid, alcohol and age. The AUC for OPMD was only 0.69. The predictive probability of squamous cell carcinoma occurrence for genetic risk score without substance use increased from 10% up to 43%; with substance use increased from 73% up to 92%. Genetic variants with or without substance use may enhance risk prediction for oral malignancy occurrence in male population. The prediction model may be useful as a clinical index for oral malignancy occurrence and its risk assessments.

Three prognostic indexes as predictors of response to adjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma after radical surgery: A large-scale prospective study. Head Neck 2018; 41:301-308.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop and validate practical prognostic indexes (PIs) for predicting the prognosis and response to postoperative adjuvant therapy in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). METHODS A large cohort of 1071 OSCC patients were randomized to either training set (N = 708) or validation set (N = 363). Three types of PIs were developed according to the nomogram scores, β coefficients and excess hazard ratios, respectively. Restricted cubic spline was used to demonstrate the relationship between PIs and the risks of death. RESULTS First, a nomogram was developed incorporating age at diagnosis, smoking status, clinical stage, tumor differentiation, lymph node status, comorbidity, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio levels. Then, three PIs were established with high survival predictive ability, and were superior to AJCC staging system (all P < .05). The risks of death were escalated continuously with the increasing number of PIs. Interestingly, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy was positively associated with poor overall survival in patients with low PIs, but exerted a beneficial effect on patients with high PIs. CONCLUSION Combined nomogram with further established PIs not only predicts the survival probability of OSCC patients, but also continuously quantifies the risk of death. High PIs could predict a beneficial response to adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, whereas low PIs indicate an unfavorable response.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore differences in the effects of modifiable factors on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) occurring in the lower oral fissure (LOF) and upper oral fissure (UOF). We conducted a case-control study with 697 OSCC patients (119 UOF and 578 LOF) and 1910 frequency-matched controls in Fujian province, China. Data on demographic characteristics and possible modifiable factors was collected using a structured questionnaire. Unconditional logistic regression was utilized to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Alcohol drinking was more strongly associated with an increased risk of OSCC-LOF than OSCC-UOF. Tobacco smoking, the number of teeth lost ≥5, wearing denture, and recurrent oral ulceration showed similarly associations with OSCC-LOF and -UOF risk. Similarly, the beneficial effects of tea consumption, tooth-brushing ≥2times per day, high intake of fresh fish, seafood, green-leafy vegetables, other vegetables and fruits were not significantly different on OSCC-LOF and -UOF. Although most of the modifiable factors exert similar effects on both OSCC sites, this study suggests that the sites of oral cavity in LOF may be affected more by alcohol drinking than the sites in UOF. Further studies with larger samples are warranted to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) is highly expressed in many human cancers and is involved in migration and invasion of cancer cells. However, TPI clinicopathological significance and prognostic value in gastric cancer (GC) are not yet well defined. The aim of the present work was to evaluate TPI expression in GC tissue and its prognostic value in GC patients.TPI expression was analyzed in 92 primary GC tissues and 80 adjacent normal mucosa tissues from GC patients undergoing gastrectomy by immunohistochemical analysis of tissue microarrays (TMAs). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate TPI prognostic significance in GC patients.Immunohistochemical staining score showed that TPI expression in cancer tissues was significantly higher than in adjacent normal mucosa (P < .001). Univariate analysis revealed that TPI expression, depth of invasion, lympho node metastasis, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, and tumor diameter were associated with negative prognostic predictors for overall survival in GC patients (P < .05). High TPI expression represented a significant predictor of shorter survival in GC patients with positive lymphatic metastasis (P = .022) and tumor diameter >5 cm (P = .018). Cox multivariate analysis identified TPI expression, TNM stage, and tumor diameter as independent prognostic factors in GC patients.TPI expression might be considered as a novel prognostic factor to evaluate GC patients' survival.
