Surgically resected HNSCC samples with no TP53 mutations have elevated levels of miR-34a and miR-34b/b*/c, while those with TP53 mutations show no such up-regulation. miR-34b/b*/c expression is also correlated with smoking status and tumor sites.
Associations Between [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG-PET and Complex Histopathological Parameters Including Tumor Cell Count and Expression of KI 67, EGFR, VEGF, HIF-1α, and p53 in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Here, we demonstrated that combination of ectopic NOXA expression and ABT-263 enhanced apoptosis in p53-inactive, p53 wild-type, and human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive HNSCC cell lines.
Histogram Analysis Parameters Derived from Conventional T1- and T2-Weighted Images Can Predict Different Histopathological Features Including Expression of Ki67, EGFR, VEGF, HIF-1α, and p53 and Cell Count in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
These data suggest that p53 and RAS may play important roles in regulating HNSCC immunity and that the <i>TP53</i> and <i>HRAS</i> mutation status could be useful biomarkers for stratifying HNSCC patients responsive to immunotherapy.
The aim of this study was to determine how curcumin (CRM) used as an adjuvant supports the apoptotic process induced by a single chemical agent treatment (cisplatin-CisPT) on two head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (FaDu and PE/CA-PJ49) and the involvement of ERK1/2 and/or p53 activation in this process.
All-Exon TP53 Sequencing and Protein Phenotype Analysis Accurately Predict Clinical Outcome after Surgical Treatment of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Long intergenic noncoding RNA p21 (lincRNA-p21) is considered a target of wild-type p53, but little is known about its regulation by mutant p53 and its functions during the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
The HPV typing and mutation analysis of all TP53 coding exons is a valuable diagnostic tool in patients with HNSCC and concurrent lung SCC, which can help to ensure that patients receive the most suitable treatment.
Comprehensive genomic analyses have been performed for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), revealing a significant rate of NOTCH1 mutations and identifying NOTCH1 as the second most frequently mutated gene after TP53.
Importantly, the lymphocytes specific for the phosphorylated p53 peptide epitopes were observed in the head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) patients.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of Akt, PTEN, Mdm2 and p53 proteins in three different head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines (HN6, HN19 and HN30), all of them treated with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), an inhibitor of Hsp90 protein.
We relate this specifically to SCCHN by focusing on several recent key studies specific to SCCHN, and by discussing the role TP53 mutation may play in this metabolic switch, given the fundamental role of this oncogenic event in SCCHN tumorigenesis.
To assess the role of Notch signaling in HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNSCC, we utilized genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models for conventional keratinizing HNSCC, in which either HPV16 E6 and E7 oncoproteins or a gain-of-function mutant p53 are expressed, and in which we inactivated canonical Notch signaling via expression of a dominant negative form of MAML1 (DNMAML1), a required transcriptional coactivator of Notch signaling.
Patients with HNSCC with high tumoral PBF and PTTG had the poorest overall survival, which reflects a marked impairment of p53-dependent signaling.<b>Significance:</b> These findings reveal a complex and novel interrelationship between the expression and function of PTTG, PBF, and p53 in human HNSCC that significantly influences patient outcome.<i></i>.
The molecular pathogenesis of HNSCCs remains largely unresolved; there is high prevalence of p53 mutations and EGFR overexpression; however, the contribution of these molecular changes to disease development and/or progression remains unknown.
