Alternatively activated macrophages in tumor microenvironment is defined as M2 tumor-associated (M2 TAMs) that promote cancer progression. However, communicative mechanisms between TAMs and cells squamous cell carcinoma of head neck (SCCHN) remain largely unknown. Quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay flow cytometry were applied to quantify mRNA protein expression genes related TAMs, epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) stemness. Wounding-healing...

The association between pretreatment nutritional status and immunotherapy response in patients with advanced head neck cancer is unclear. We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 99 who underwent treatment anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 antibodies (or both) for stage IV HNSCC 2014 2020 at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Patient demographics clinical characteristics were retrieved from electronic medical records. Baseline prognostic index (PNI) scores body mass (BMI) trends calculated. Associations PNI...

Metastasis is a major event for survival and prognosis in patients with head neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). A primary cause of metastasis the proteolytic degradation extracellular matrix (ECM). The plasminogen activator urokinase (PLAU) involved transformation to plasmin leading hydrolyzation ECM-related proteins. However, role PLAU expression HNSCC unclear worth being investigated.PLAU profiles clinical parameters from multiple datasets were used investigate relationship survival....

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a promising additive manufacturing technology that uses imaging data and computer-assisted deposition of biological materials or cells to reconstruct complex 3D structures accurately. This has progressed rapidly, in part because its integration across multiple disciplines combination with other technologies for clinical applications. Advances experimental research applications related otorhinolaryngology have led the development diagnostic treatment...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-system autoimmune disease characterised by aberrant activation and differentiation of autoreactive T B cells, as well the overproduction autoantibodies. CD6, cell-surface glycoprotein, regulates lymphocyte activation, survival, implicated in pathogenesis various disorders. In SLE, CD6/activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) pathway promotes renal T-cell immune responses. However, distribution, expression, function CD6 cells remain...

Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common malignant cancer that accounts for 5–10% of all cancers. This study aimed to identify essential genes associated with the prognosis HNSCC construct powerful prognostic model risk assessment HNSCC. RNAseq expression profile data patients were obtained from TCGA database (GEO). A total 500 samples full clinical following-up randomly divided into training set validation set. The was used screen differentially expressed lncRNAs....

Abstract Metastasis is one of the primary causes for high mortality in patients with squamous cell carcinoma head and neck (SCCHN). Our previous study showed that chemokine (C‐C motif) ligand 18 (CCL18), derived from tumour‐associated macrophages (TAMs), regulates SCCHN metastasis by promoting epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) preserving stemness. However, underlying mechanism needs to be further investigation. Interestingly, metadherin (MTDH) expression was induced when cells were...

Abstract Despite progression in advanced treatments for malignant tumors, surgery remains the primary treatment intervention, which removes a large portion of firm tumor tissues; however, postoperative phase poses possible risk provincial recurrence and metastasis. Consequently, prevention metastasis has attracted research attention. In this review, we summarized strategies various tumors from both basic clinical perspectives. We delineated underlying factors contributing to with substantial...

Our previous study indicated overexpression of metadherin (MTDH) is an adverse prognostic factor in squamous cell carcinoma the head and neck (SCCHN) promotes SCCHN proliferation invasion. However, its mechanism remains unclear. Recent studies have that MTDH a cancer-metastasis-associated molecule participates process angiogenesis. Therefore, aimed to investigate whether vascular endothelial growth (VEGF), as one most potent proangiogenic cytokines, regulated by role phosphatidylinositide...
