Previous studies have demonstrated that senescent cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) derived from genetically unstable oral squamous cell carcinomas (GU-OSCC), unlike non-senescent CAFs stable (GS-OSCC), promoted keratinocyte invasion in vitro a paracrine manner. The mechanism by which this occurs is unclear. work to characterise the senescent-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) has used antibody arrays, technology limited availability of suitable antibodies. To extend an unbiased...
Adverse events associated with vaccine administration can manifest in the oral cavity and orofacial region. Hence, aim of this study was to compare adverse effects two recently authorised COVID-19 vaccines, namely BNT162b2 mRNA-1273.Publicly available data on mRNA-1273 vaccines were accessed from relevant regulatory authorities United States, Canada, European Union Kingdom. Both patient/recipient information healthcare professional fact sheets for each these drugs manually searched find...
The bioavailability of circulating and/or endogenous hydrocortisone (cortisol) in epidermal cells is a key determinant inflammatory disease and chronic wounds. It not known, however, whether can regulate tissue cortisol they are capable producing glucocorticoids. In the present study, we show by microarray analysis that express mRNAs to all major enzymes involved metabolic chain from cholesterol cortisol, including cytocrome P450 chain, 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSD11Bs),...
Keratinocyte senescence acts as a barrier to tumor progression but appears be lost in late pre-malignancy yield genetically unstable oral squamous cell carcinomas (GU-OSCC); subset of OSCC possessing wild-type p53 and are stable (GS-OSCC). In this study, fibroblasts from GU-OSCC were senescent relative GS-OSCC, epithelial dysplastic tissues or normal mucosa, demonstrated by increased senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA β-Gal) activity overexpression p16 INK4A . Keratinocytes produced...
Abstract Oral cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. This study examined the behaviour of fibroblast strains from normal oral mucosa, dysplastic epithelial tissue, and genetically stable (minimal copy number alterations—CNA; minimal loss heterozygosity—LOH; wild‐type p53; p16 $^{{\rm INK4A}}$ ) unstable (extensive CNA LOH; inactivation p53 squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Fibroblasts OSCC relative to other subtypes grew more slowly stimulated invasion non‐tumourigenic...
Abstract Background In patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue (OTSCC), current tumor node metastasis staging system fails to identify at‐risk associated early relapse and poor prognosis despite complete surgical resection. Given importance tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in development cancers, here we investigated prognostic significance immune phenotype OTSCC. Methods Hematoxylin‐eosin stained sections OTSCCs from 211 were evaluated. Cancers classified as (a)...
Mutations of the tumour-suppressor gene TP53 are most frequent somatic genomic alterations in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, it is not yet clear whether specific mutations bear distinct clinical pathophysiological significance different HNSCC subgroups.A systematic bioinformatics appraisal was performed on 415 cases available The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). following features were analysed correlated with known clinicopathological variables: mutational profile TP53,...
Abstract Detection of subjects with oral potentially malignant disorders in a population is key to early detection cancer (OC) consequent reduction cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Our aim was investigate the prevalence associated risk factors for OPMD representative provinces Indonesia. This cross-sectional study undertaken five Indonesian provinces: West Java (WJ), Jakarta (JKT), Papua (WP), Kalimantan (WK) Banda Aceh (BA). Respondents answered previously validated questionnaire...
