Abstract
Objectives: This review article aims to describe some of the roles of Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in enamel, dentine, dental caries, hybrid layer degradation, pulp and periodontal tissues, throwing light on their current inhibitors. The article addresses the potential of MMPs to serve as biomarkers with diagnostic and therapeutic value. Design: The sections of this review discuss MMPs’ involvement in developmental, remodeling, degradational and turnover aspects of dental and periodontal tissues as well as their signals in the pathogenesis, progress of different lesions and wound healing of these tissues. The literature was searched for original research articles, review articles and theses. The literature search was conducted in PubMed and MEDLINE for articles published in the last 20 years. Results: 119 published papers, two textbooks and two doctoral theses were selected for preparing the current review. Conclusions: MMPs are significant proteases, of evident contribution in dental and periapical tissue development, health and disease processes, with promising potential for use as diagnostic and prognostic disease biomarkers. Continuing understanding of their role in pathogenesis and progress of different dental, periapical and periodontal lesions, as well as in dentine-pulp wound healing could be a keystone to future diagnostic and therapeutic regimens.

Estimation of serum and salivary matrix metalloproteinase levels in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Postepy Dermatol Alergol 2021; 38:106-114. [PMID: 34408576 PMCID: PMC8362777 DOI: 10.5114/ada.2021.104285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2019] [Accepted: 08/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a pivotal role in the cancer progression, invasion, and angiogenesis. Aim This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the difference between oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients and healthy controls in the serum and salivary MMP levels. Material and methods Four databases – Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library – were searched up to March 2019. The pooled standard mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were obtained to explain the difference between the patients and controls in the salivary and serum MMP levels. Both Egger’s and Begg’s tests were considered as the significant publication bias. Results Thirteen case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis. Among the analyses of serum MMP levels, the serum MMP7 (SMD = 0.78; 95% CI: 0.15–1.41; p = 0.02) and MMP9 (SMD = 1.18; 95% CI: 0.51–1.84; p = 0.0005) levels were significantly higher in the OSCC patients than in the controls. In addition, the analyses of salivary MMP levels showed that the MMP1 (SMD = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.22–0.70; p = 0.0001) and MMP9 (SMD = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.19–1.12; p = 0.005) levels were significantly higher in the OSCC patients than in the controls. Conclusions The meta-analysis showed that the serum MMP7 and MPP9 levels as well as the salivary MMP1 and MPP9 levels were significantly higher in the OSCC patients than in the controls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to identify key genes and shed light on the underlying molecular mechanisms of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC). METHODS Bioinformatic software was utilized for the identification and characterization of key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from microarrays GSE63678 and GSE38228, which contain VSCC and normal vulvar tissue data. These microarrays were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Immunohistochemical assays (55 VSCC and 50 normal vulvar tissues) were utilized to validate the expression of VEGF, IGF1, BIRC5, and MMP1 screened from the identified DEGs. SPSS 18.0 software was used for statistical analyses of the relationships between IGF1, BIRC5, VEGF, MMP1 expression levels and patient clinicopathological characteristics. RESULTS A total of 141 DEGs were identified, among which 18 genes were closely correlated with the biological characteristics of VSCC. Four of the 18 genes (VEGF, IGF1, BIRC5, and MMP1) screened from the GEO database were markedly enriched in pathways in cancer (P < 0.05), and could be considered key genes in VSCC based on KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis in DAVID (Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery).The expression levels of these 4 hub genes, determined by immunohistochemical assays, were consistent with the bioinformatics results. Higher expression of IGF1 showed significant association with well-differentiated carcinomas (P = 0.017).BIRC5 expression levels showed a positive correlation with clinical stage (P = 0.039); compared with those in menopause for over 10 years, patients in menopause for less than 10 years at the time of diagnosis tended to have significantly higher expression of BIRC5 (P = 0.003). VEGF and MMP1 expression levels were not correlated with any of the tested clinicopathological characteristics. CONCLUSION VEGF, IGF1, BIRC5, and MMP1 were identified as being associated with VSCC using integrated bioinformatic methods, which may provide important insights into the pathogenesis of this disease and help to identify new biomarkers.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the key genes, microRNA (miRNA), and the pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) at the molecular level through the analysis of bioinformatics, which could provide a theoretical basis for the screening of drug targets. Data of OSCC were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified via GEO2R analysis. Next, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was constructed through Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Gene and visualized via Cytoscape, whereas the hub genes were screened out with Cytoscape. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were performed by Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. The miRNA, which might regulate hub genes, were screened out with TargetScan and GO and KEGG analysis of miRNA was performed by DNA Intelligent Analysis-miRPath. Survival analyses of DEGs were conducted via the Kaplan-Meier plotter. Finally, the relationships between gene products and tumors were analyzed by Comparative Toxicogenomics Database. A total of 121 differential genes were identified. One hundred thirty-five GO terms and 56 pathways were obtained, which were mainly related to PI3K-Akt signals pathway, FoxO signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, cell cycle, p53 signaling pathway, cellular senescence, and other pathways; 10 genes were identified as hub genes through modules analyses in the PPI network. Finally, a survival analysis of 10 hub genes was conducted, which showed that the low expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)1, MMP3, and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)1 and the high expression of CXCL9 and CXCL10 resulted in a significantly poor 5-year overall survival rate in patients with OSCC. In this study, the DEGs of OSCC was analyzed, which assists us in a systematic understanding of the pathogenicity underlying occurrence and development of OSCC. The MMP1, MMP3, CXCL1, CXCL9, and CXCL10 genes might be used as potential targets to improve diagnosis and as immunotherapy biomarkers for OSCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation and cell-mediated immunity have a key role in different stages of carcinogenesis. The aim of this prospective study was to assess serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B (MICB) in patients with oral premalignant lesion (OPL), oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and healthy controls in a multi-biomarker approach as a potential diagnostic and prognostic tool for OSCC. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 205 patients (81 with OSCC, 75 with OPL, and 49 healthy controls) were included in this prospective study. Cytokine concentrations were measured by commercial enzyme linked immunoassay and chemiluminescence immunoassay. RESULTS IL-6, IL-8, and sIL-2R were significantly elevated in OSCC patients compared to healthy controls and to OPL patients. Higher T-Grade (>T2) and positive lymph node involvement resulted in significantly higher IL-6 values (P < .001 and P = .037). IL-6 serum values ≥5 pg/mL (n = 45) and sIL-2R serum values ≥623 U/mL (n = 19) indicated a significant lower survival rate compared to OSCC patients with low IL-6 (n = 36) and sIL-2R values (n = 62, P = .023 and P = .026). ROC and classification tree analyses identified the combination of IL-6 and IL-8 as diagnostic markers with good diagnostic accuracy. CONCLUSION In conclusion, IL-6, IL-8, and sIL-2R are strongly associated with OSCC oncogenesis and IL-6 and sIL-2R seem to be promising and potent biomarkers for evaluating patients' prognosis.
