Global miRNA expression profile of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients with resistant and sensitive tumors
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to evaluate miRNAs as response predictors in FFPE head and neck samples from a phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the feasibility of delivering cisplatin concurrent with radiotherapy after an induction chemotherapy (IC) regimen based on the combination of cisplatin plus paclitaxel in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. For this purpose, we assessed the global miRNA expression profile of 15 HNSCC patients undergoing treatment, in order to identify miRNAs able to segregate resistant tumors from the sensitive ones, thus serving as markers to predict response. The results showed four miRNAs (miR-21, miR-494, miR-720 and miR-923) that were overexpressed in HNSCC FFPE samples.
