Follow-up of collagen crosslink excretion in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma and analysis of tissue samples.

ABSTRACT: The presence of an oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) may be associated with increased urinary excretion of the markers of collagen degradation, hydroxylysylpyridinoline (HP) and lysylpyridinoline (LP). We investigated the possibility of these markers predicting the presence of active disease. Patients from a current study on HP and LP were included as follows: Group 1a (OSCC with confirmed mandibular bony infiltration, n=12), group 1b (group 1a patients >6 months after successful treatment), group 2a (OSCC without evidence of mandibular bone infiltration, n=8), group 2b (group 2a patients >6 months after successful treatment), group 3a (recurrent OSCC, n=8), group 3b (group 3a patients >6 weeks later, symptoms unchanged) and group 4 (control group, n=74). Tissue samples from tumour tissue and adjacent healthy mucosa were additionally investigated for HP and LP concentrations (n=8). The decrease in the urinary concentrations of HP and LP was statistically significant between groups 1a and 1b (P<0.001 for HP and LP), but not between groups 2a and 2b (P=0.07 for HP and LP), while values in groups 1b and 2b were within the normal range. When comparing groups 3a and 3b, a significant increase was observed for LP (P=0.050), but not HP (P=0.208). In conclusion, successful treatment of OSCC with bony involvement may be associated with a reduction of urinary HP and LP, whereas ongoing disease may result in an increase of LP. HP and LP may both be useful markers of tumour progression in patients with OSCC.

Collagen crosslink excretion and staging of oral cancer.

Project description:Lysylpyridinoline (LP) and hydroxylysylpyridinoline (HP) are collagen crosslink residues of which the urinary concentration reflects the level of connective-tissue turnover. HP is ubiquitous in tissue, whereas LP is specific for bone. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the sensitivity and specificity of an increased urinary concentration of both HP and LP in indicating infiltration of mandibular bone by an oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) or recurrence of the disease after successful therapy. We investigated the history and urine levels in 116 adult patients, who were divided into the following groups. Group 1: patients with OSCC with bone infiltration (n=17); group 2: patients with confirmed OSCC (n=12) without evidence of bone infiltration; group 3: patients with recurrence of an OSCC (n=13); group 4: patients without clinical evidence of disease (n=74). The range and upper limit of normal values (HP(max) and LP(max)) were measured from the normal controls in group 4. Levels of LP and HP were measured by HPLC and fluorescence detection. There was a significant difference in the average urinary levels of LP and HP between groups 1-4 (P<0.001). The presence of mandibular bone infiltration could be detected with a sensitivity and specificity of 100% when comparing groups 1 and 2. Presence of tumour tissue could be detected with a sensitivity of 90%. In conclusion, a normal LP concentration in patients with an OSCC strongly suggests that bone invasion by the disease has not taken place. If both urinary HP and LP are elevated, disease recurrence is highly likely.

Tubulin ?-6 chain is a stably expressed reference gene in archival samples of normal oral tissue and oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:One of the most critical factors in gene expression studies using quantitative real-time PCR is the choice of reference gene. Many of the commonly used reference genes have been shown to vary during a number of biological processes as well as between tissues. It is therefore important to always verify the stability of the gene of choice for all new tissues and experimental conditions. Here, we used two publicly available computer software packages (GeNorm and NormFinder) to investigate the stability of eight potential reference genes in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from normal oral tissue of different origin as well as from oral squamous cell carcinomas. Both programs found the tubulin ?-6 chain (TUBA6) and ribosomal protein S13 (RPS13) to have the most stable expression between malignant and non-malignant tissue. NormFinder also found TUBA6 to be the most stable gene when samples were grouped according to tissue origin. FFPE samples constitute a large research resource, which considerably increases the number of samples available for analysis, leading to more reliable conclusions. Verification of a proper reference gene in oral FFPE tissue is therefore of great importance for future studies.

Viable bacteria present within oral squamous cell carcinoma tissue.

Project description:Despite increasing interest in the possible relationships between bacteria and the different stages of cancer development, the association of bacteria with cancer of the oral cavity has yet to be adequately examined. With that in mind, the primary objective of this study was to identify any bacterial species within oral squamous cell carcinoma tissue using a standard microbiological culture approach. At the time of surgery, a 1-cm3 portion of tissue was harvested from deep within the tumor mass using a fresh blade for each cut. Whenever possible, "superficial" portions from the mucosa overlying the tumor and nontumorous control specimens from at least 5 cm away from the primary tumor site were also obtained. Surface contamination was eliminated by immersion in Betadine and washing with phosphate-buffered saline. Each specimen was aseptically macerated and cultured on nonselective media under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Isolates were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Twenty deep-tissue specimens, 19 with corresponding superficial tissues and 12 with control tissues, were successfully processed. A diversity of bacterial taxa were isolated and identified, including several putatively novel species. Most isolates were found to be saccharolytic and acid-tolerant species. Notably, some species were isolated only from either the tumorous or nontumorous tissue type, indicating a degree of restriction. Successful surface decontamination of the specimens indicates that the bacteria detected were from within the tissue. A diversity of bacterial groups have been isolated from within oral squamous cell carcinoma tissue. The significance of these bacteria within the tumor warrants further study.

DNA methylation profile in matched oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma and normal adjacent tissue samples

Project description:Oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a complex and dynamic disease characterized by clinicopathological and molecular heterogeneity. Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of cell subpopulations has been associated with cancer progression and implicated in the prognosis and therapy response. Emerging evidence indicates that aberrant epigenetic profiles in OSCC may foster an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by modulating the expression of immune-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). DNA methylation analysis was performed in 46 matched OSCC and normal adjacent tissue samples using a genome-wide platform (Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip). Reference-based computational deconvolution (MethylCIBERSORT) was applied to infer the immune cell composition of the bulk samples. The expression levels of genes encoding immune markers and differentially methylated lncRNAs were investigated using The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. OSCC specimens presented distinct immune cell composition, including the enrichment of monocyte lineage cells, natural killer cells, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, regulatory T-lymphocytes, and neutrophils. In contrast, B-lymphocytes, effector T-lymphocytes, and fibroblasts were diminished in tumor samples. The hypomethylation of three immune-associated lncRNAs (MEG3, MIR155HG, and WFDC21P) at individual CpG sites was confirmed by bisulfite-pyrosequencing. Also, the upregulation of a set of immune markers (FOXP3, GZMB, IL10, IL2RA, TGFB, IFNG, TDO2, IDO1, and HIF1A) was detected. The immune cell composition, immune markers alteration, and dysregulation of immune-associated lncRNAs reinforce the impact of the immune microenvironment in OSCC. These concurrent factors contribute to tumor heterogeneity, suggesting that epi-immunotherapy could be an efficient alternative to treat OSCC.

Postoperative follow-up strategy based on event dynamics for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundDespite the improvements in radical surgery for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a large number of patients still develop recurrence. This research sought to graphically depict patterns in ESCC recurrence following curative surgical treatment using event dynamics and clarify approaches to postsurgical follow-up on the basis of recurrence time.MethodsThis study included 717 individuals with ESCC who received radical surgery in the Thoracic Department at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital between 2013 and 2016. Event dynamics analysis was performed on the basis of hazard rates. An initial event was defined as the occurrence of local recurrence, distant metastasis, or both.ResultsAfter complete resection, patients were followed up for a median of 44 months (range, 2-83 months). A total of 223 (31.1%) patients developed recurrence, including 122 (17.0%) patients who developed only locoregional recurrence, and 101 (14.1%) patients who developed only distant metastasis or both locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis. Recurrences were concentrated mainly (98.2%) in the first 4 years of follow-up among all recurrences, with 100 cases (44.8%) in the first year, 69 cases (30.9%) in the second year, and 50 cases (22.4%) in the third and fourth years.ConclusionsAfter curative surgery in a multimodal setting, a significant number of patients still experienced recurrence within 4 years after surgery, which suggests that current postoperative esophageal cancer follow-up strategies may need to be modified.

Affymetrix SNP array data for oral squamous cell carcinoma and oral dysplasia samples

Project description:The development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a multistep process requiring the accumulation of genetic alterations. Oral carcinogenesis is a multifactorial process involving numerous genetic changes that affect the activity of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and other classes of disease-related genes.Therefore, to identify the responsive genes for progression of oral dysplasia or OSCC, we here performed CGH analysis to DNA from oral dysplasia and OSCC by microdissection

Tissue and serum microRNA profile of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients.

Project description:Head and neck cancer is characterized by malignant tumors arising from the epithelium covering the upper aerodigestive tract, and the majority of these epithelial malignancies are squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the oral cavity (OSCCs). The aim of the current work was to identify miRNAs regulated in OSCC cancerous tissue when compared to a healthy adjacent tissue and to verify the presence of the same miRNAs in the circulation of these patients. For that serum samples and biopsies of healthy and tumor tissues were collected from five patients diagnosed with OSCC of the oral cavity, RNA was extracted from these samples and microRNAs libraries were prepared and sequenced. A total 255 miRNAs were identified in tissue and 381 different miRNAs were identified in serum samples. When comparing the miRNA expression between tumor and healthy tissue we identified 48 miRNAs (25 down- and 23 up-regulated) that were differentially expressed (FDR?<?0.05). From these 48 differentially expressed miRNAs in tissue, 30 miRNAs were also found in the serum of the same patients. hsa-miR-32-5p was up-regulated in tumor compared to healthy tissue in our study, and was previously shown to be up-regulated in the serum of OSCC patients. Therefore, this suggests that miRNAs can be used as potential non-invasive biomarkers of OSCC.

Affymetrix SNP array data for oral squamous cell carcinoma samples

Project description:The development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a multistep process requiring the accumulation of genetic alterations. To identify genes responsible for OSCC development, we performed high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism array analysis and genome-wide gene expression profiling on OSCC tumors. These analyses identified "absent in melanoma (AIM2)" and "interferon-inducible gene 16 (IFI16)," mapped to the hematopoietic IFN-inducible nuclear proteins with 200-amino acid repeat (HIN-200) gene cluster in the amplified region of chromosome 1q23, with overexpression in OSCCs. AIM2 and IFI16 are cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA sensors for innate immunity and act as tumor suppressors in several human cancers. Knockdown of AIM2 or IFI16 in OSCC cells resulted in the suppression of cell growth and the induction of apoptosis, accompanied by the downregulation of NF-κB activation. Because all of the OSCC cell lines had impairment of p53 activity, wild-type p53 was introduced in p53-deficient OSCC cells, and as a result, the expression of wild-type p53 suppressed cell growth and induced apoptosis via suppression of NF-κB activity. Finally, the coexpression of AIM2 and IFI16 significantly enhanced cell growth in p53-deficient cells; in contrast, the expression of AIM2 and/or IFI16 in cells bearing wild-type p53 suppressed cell growth. Moreover, AIM2 and IFI16 synergistically enhanced NF-κB signaling in p53-deficient cells. Thus, expression of AIM2 and IFI16 may have oncogenic functions in OSCC cells inactivating p53 system.
