    BACKGROUND: Aberrant Notch signaling pathway has been related with the tumorigenesis in head and neck region, involving oral cavity. Here, we report the correlation between mutations in the Notch signaling pathway and CD8+ T-cell infiltration via PD-L1, which lead to enhanced antitumor immunity and may target for immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy. METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed the results of immunohistochemical staining for PD-L1 and CD8+ T-cell infiltration in 10 patients and whole-exome sequencing (WES) was conducted on five of these patients to identify frequently mutated genes. RESULTS: Four of 10 patients were positive for PD-L1 and CD8+ T. By analyzing WES in three of these four patients, we notably identified the mutations of NOTCH1, FBXW7, and noncoding RNA intronic mutation in NOTCH2NLR in two of these three patients. This study may enable better selection of ICI therapy with CD8+ T-cell infiltration via PD-L1 expression for oral squamous cell carcinoma patients with mutations in Notch signaling pathway.

    Preoperative intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy (IACRT) can improve the outcome and reduce the extent of surgery in patients with advanced oral cancer. However, the response to this regimen varies among patients, which may be related to the immune status of the tumor. We investigated the effects of proteins involved in tumor immunity on the outcomes of combined IACRT and surgery for oral cancer. We examined CD8 + and FoxP3 + tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression on immune cells and tumor cells in pretreatment biopsy samples from 69 patients diagnosed with oral cancer treated with IACRT at our institution during 2000-2020. Patients with abundant CD8 + TILs had significantly better 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) compared to that of patients with less infiltration of these cells (P = 0.016). Patients with higher FoxP3 + T-cells invasion had significantly better DSS compared to that of less FoxP3 (P = 0.005). Patients with high PD-L1 expression in tumor cells and immune cells had significantly better DSS than that of patients with low PD-L1 expression in these cells (P = 0.009 and P = 0.025, respectively). Collectively, these results suggest that the tumor immune microenvironment could affect outcomes of IACRT treatment in oral cancer.

    The mortality rate of oral cancer has not improved over the past three decades despite remarkable advances in cancer therapies. Oral cancers contain a subpopulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) that share characteristics associated with normal stem cells, including self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential. CSCs are tumorigenic, play a critical role in cancer infiltration, recurrence, and distant metastasis, and significantly contribute to drug resistance to current therapeutic strategies, including immunotherapy. Cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTLs) are key immune cells that effectively recognize peptide antigens presented by the major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. Increasing evidence suggests that cancer antigen-specific targeting by CTLs effectively regulates CSCs that drive cancer progression. In this study, we utilized data from public domains and performed various bioassays on human oral squamous cell carcinoma clinical samples and cell lines, including HSC-2 and HSC-3, to investigate the potential role of olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily C member 1 (OR7C1), a seven transmembrane G-protein-coupled olfactory receptor that is also expressed in nonolfactory tissues and was previously reported as a novel marker and target of colon cancer initiating cell-targeted immunotherapy, in CSC-targeted treatment against oral cancer. We found that the OR7C1 gene was expressed only in oral CSCs, and that CTLs reacted with human leukocyte antigen-A24-restricted OR7C1 oral CSC-specific peptides. Taken together, our findings suggest that OR7C1 represents a novel target for potent CSC-targeted immunotherapy in oral cancer.

    OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the accuracy of estimating the cross-sectional area (CSA) at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) based on the CSA at the third cervical vertebra (C3) using computed tomographic images, and we identified the sources of error and bias using the evaluation of absolute reliability in 89 Japanese patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS: Skeletal muscle CSA was measured at the C3 and L3 on pretreatment computed tomographic images. We used the CSA at the C3 to estimate CSA at the L3 in an existing prediction formula. Correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the relative reliability of the estimate, and Bland-Altman analysis and minimum detectable change (MDC) were used to evaluate its absolute reliability. RESULTS: Estimated and actual CSAs at L3 were strongly correlated (r = 0.885, p < 0.001). The mean difference between the estimated and actual CSAs was - 1.0887 cm2, the 95% confidence interval was - 4.09 to 1.91 cm2 (p = 0.472), and the 95% limits of agreement were - 29.0 and 26.8 cm2. The MDC at the 95% level of confidence in estimated and actual CSAs was 27.9 cm2. CONCLUSIONS: The estimation of CSA at the L3 from the existing prediction formula with the CSA at the C3 had no systematic biases, but it did have random errors. Random errors resulted from measurement errors and biological variation. Usefulness of the existing formula is limited by physical differences in populations.

    OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the clinical and histopathologic effects of neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy (IACRT) using cisplatin in combination with oral S-1 (tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil potassium) on stage III and IV oral squamous cell carcinoma. STUDY DESIGN: Thirty patients received infusions of superselective intra-arterial cisplatin 60 mg/m2 by the Seldinger method and conventional external beam radiotherapy (total 40 Gy) combined with oral S-1 on the day of irradiation. Curative surgery and neck dissection were performed 4 to 6 weeks after IACRT. The clinical response of the primary lesion was evaluated approximately 4 weeks after IACRT. The surgically resected specimens were examined for histologic features according to the grading system for histologic evaluation and for residual tumor grade (RGrades). RESULTS: Histopathologic evaluation of the therapeutic effect was grade 2 in 10 patients and grade 3 in 16 patients. According to the distribution of RGrades, the remaining tumor cells were mostly in the central area of the primary lesion, as seen in 24 patients. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that neoadjuvant IACRT with cisplatin and oral S-1 was an effective treatment, suggesting the possibility of reducing the extent of curative surgery based on RGrades.

    Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are deeply involved in cancer development. We previously reported that DLEU1 (deleted in lymphocytic leukemia 1) is one of the lncRNAs overexpressed in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells, where it exhibits oncogenic activity. In the present study, we further clarified the molecular function of DLEU1 in the pathogenesis of OSCC. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis revealed that DLEU1 knockdown induced significant changes in the levels of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac) in OSCC cells. Notably, DLEU1 knockdown suppressed levels of H3K4me3/ H3K27ac and expression of a number of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), including IFIT1, IFI6 and OAS1, while ectopic DLEU1 expression activated these genes. Western blot analysis and reporter assays suggested that DLEU1 upregulates ISGs through activation of JAK-STAT signaling in OSCC cells. Moreover, IFITM1, one of the ISGs induced by DLUE1, was frequently overexpressed in primary OSCC tumors, and its knockdown inhibited OSCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. These findings suggest that DLEU1 exerts its oncogenic effects, at least in part, through activation of a series ISGs in OSCC cells.

    BACKGROUND/AIM: The role of tumour-infiltrating CD45Ro+ T-cells in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate prognostic biomarkers for OSCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We determined the density of tumour-infiltrating CD45Ro+ T cells in the parenchyma and stroma at the tumour centre (TCe) and invasive front (IF) and examined the association between the density of these cells and histopathological status in 142 patients. RESULTS: Five-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival were favourable in patients with high CD45Ro+ T-cell density in the TCe stroma. OS was favourable in patients with high CD45Ro+ T-cell density in the IF stroma. Stepwise Cox regression model analysis indicated that CD45Ro+ T-cells in the stroma of the IF and TCe were an independent prognostic factor for OS. CONCLUSION: CD45Ro+ T-cells in the stroma of the IF and TCe play a role in cancer immune surveillance and may be a useful prognostic factor.

    BACKGROUND: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes include tumor-reactive lymphocytes and regulatory T-cells. However, the prognostic value of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unclear. METHODS: We used immunohistochemistry to evaluate the presence of tumor-infiltrating FoxP3⁺ T-cells and CTLA-4⁺ cells in four distinct histological compartments (tumor parenchyma and stroma at the tumor center, and parenchyma and stroma at the invasive front) and assessed the association between the prevalence of these cells and the histopathological status of 137 patients with OSCC. RESULTS: Five-year overall survival, disease-specific survival, and recurrence-free survival were favorable in patients with high numbers of FoxP3⁺ T-cells in the parenchyma of the invasive front. Recurrence-free survival and metastasis-free survival were decreased in patients with high numbers of CTLA-4⁺ cells in the parenchyma of the invasive front. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of FoxP3⁺ T-cells in the parenchyma of the invasive front may be a useful prognostic factor. Our results indicate that FoxP3⁺ T-cells may exert site-specific anti-tumor effects but may not play an immunosuppressive role in OSCC. In addition, our results suggest that CTLA-4+ cells suppress the function of FoxP3+ T-cells and promote anti-tumor immunity in OSCC.

    Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class Ⅰ molecules play a central role in anticancer immunity, but their prognostic value in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unclear. We examined HLA class I expression in 2 distinct tumor compartments, namely, the tumor center and invasive front, and evaluated the association between its expression pattern and histopathological status in 137 cases with OSCC. Human leukocyte antigen class Ⅰ expression was graded semiquantitatively as high, low, and negative. At the invasive front of the tumor, HLA class I expression was high in 72 cases (52.6%), low in 44 cases (32.1%), and negative in 21 cases (15.3%). The HLA class I expression in the tumor center was high in 48 cases (35.0%), low in 58 cases (42.4%), and negative in 31 cases (22.6%). The 5-year overall survival and disease-specific survival rates were good in cases with high HLA class I expression at the invasive front; however, there was no significant difference in survival based on HLA class I expression in the tumor center. In addition, high HLA class I expression was correlated with high CD8+ T cell density, whereas negative HLA class I expression was correlated with low CD8+ T cell density at the invasive front. These results suggest that it is easier for CD8+ T cells to recognize presented peptides in the case of high HLA class Ⅰ expression at the tumor invasive front and could be a prognostic factor for OSCC.

    The most important prognostic factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is neck metastasis, which is treated by neck dissection. Although selective neck dissection (SND) is a useful tool for clinically node-negative OSCC, its efficacy for neck node-positive OSCC has not been established. Sixty-eight OSCC patients with pN1–3 disease who were treated with curative surgery using SND and/or modified-radical/radical neck dissection (MRND/RND) were retrospectively reviewed. The neck control rate was 94% for pN1–3 patients who underwent SND. The five-year overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) in pN1-3 OSCC patients were 62% and 71%, respectively. The multivariate analysis of clinical and pathological variables identified the number of positive nodes as an independent predictor of SND outcome (OS, hazard ratio (HR) = 4.98, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.48–16.72, p &lt; 0.01; DSS, HR = 6.44, 95% CI: 1.76–23.50, p &lt; 0.01). The results of this retrospective study showed that only SND for neck node-positive OSCC was appropriate for those with up to 2 lymph nodes that had a largest diameter ≤3 cm without extranodal extension (ENE) of the neck and adjuvant radiotherapy. However, the availability of postoperative therapeutic options for high-risk OSCC, including ENE and/or multiple positive lymph nodes, needs to be further investigated.

    BACKGROUND: The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is associated with improved survival in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. However, the prognostic value of TILs remains unclear in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). METHODS: We evaluated the associations between tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T-cell density and survival in five distinct compartments in 139 OSCC cases. RESULTS: There was a significant association between increased tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells and their distribution. High parenchymal CD8+ T-cell density at the invading tumor edge was associated with improved overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS; P < 0.01 and P < 0.01, respectively). High stromal CD8+ T-cell density at the tumor periphery was also associated with improved recurrence-free survival (RFS; P < 0.01). Cox regression analysis revealed that high stromal CD8+ T-cell density at the tumor periphery and high parenchymal CD8+ T-cell density at the invading edge were independent prognostic makers (hazard ratio: 0.38 and 0.19, 95% confidence interval, 0.18-0.80 and 0.05-0.72, P = 0.01 and 0.01, respectively) for RFS and OS, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of CD8+ T cells at the parenchyma of the invading edge and peripheral stroma provides an indicator of tumor recurrence and prognosis.

    Pathologically proven regional lymph node metastasis affects the prognosis in early stage oral cancer. Therefore we investigated invasive tumor patterns predicting nodal involvement and survival in patients with clinically node-negative T1 and T2 oral squamous cell carcinoma (cT1,2N0M0 OSCC). Ninety-one cases of cT1,2N0M0 OSCC treated with transoral resection of the primary tumor were assessed based on 3 types of invasive tumor patterns on histopathologic and pancytokeratin-stained immunohistological sections: the mode of invasion, worst pattern of invasion (WPOI), and tumor budding. The correlations among invasive tumor patterns, regional metastasis, and disease-free survival were analyzed. Of the 91 cases, 22 (24%) had pathologically proven regional metastasis. The mode of invasion (p<0.01) and tumor budding (p<0.01) were associated with regional metastasis as well as lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.04) in univariate analysis. In logistic regression analysis, however, tumor budding was the only independent predictor of regional metastasis (hazard ratio (HR) = 3.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.29-5.30, p<0.01). All three invasive patterns, the mode of invasion, WPOI, and tumor budding, were found to be significant predictors of 5-year disease-free survival (p<0.01, p = 0.03, and p<0.01, respectively) as well as lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.02) and perineural invasion (p = 0.02). A final model for Cox multivariate analysis identified the prognostic advantage of the intensity of tumor budding (HR = 2.19, 95% CI = 1.51-3.18, p<0.01) compared with the mode of invasion and WPOI in disease-free survival. Our results indicate that the intensity of tumor budding may be a novel diagnostic biomarker, as well as a therapeutic tool, for regional metastasis in patients with cT1,2N0M0 OSCC. If the pancytokeratin-based immunohistochemical features of more than five buds, and a grade 4C or 4D mode of invasion are identified, careful wait-and-see follow-up in a short period with the use of imaging modalities is desirable. If there are more than ten buds, a grade 4D mode of invasion, or WPOI-5 in the same section, wide resection of the primary tumor with elective neck dissection should be recommended.

    Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma mainly occurs in the major salivary gland, and a tissue type of myoepithelial carcinoma is extremely rare in the minor salivary gland.<br>We report a case of myoepithelial carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma of the hard palate in a 65-year-old man. At presentation, a tumor measuring 23 × 16 mm, which had a painless elastic hard, smooth surface and clear border, was found in the right side of the hard palate. Computed tomographic scanning and magnetic resonance imaging indicated the suspicion of malignancy. Histological examination suggested a myoepithelial carcinoma. A partial maxillectomy combined with a supraomohyoid neck dissection was performed. The histological diagnosis of the resected specimen was a myoepithelial carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma. There has been no sign of recurrence as of 2 years postoperatively.

    We examined the clinical features of bisphosphonate(BP)-related osteonecrosis of the jaws(BRONJ), a serious complication resulting from intravenous BP treatment for multiple myeloma and malignant tumors with bone metastasis. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 36 patients who received intravenous BP therapy for the above-mentioned conditions, at Sapporo Medical University Hospital between July 2006 and October 2008. BP therapy caused BRONJ in 7 of 24 patients, but did not affect the bones of the other 17 patients. The other 12 of the 36 patients involved in the study were prescribed BP only after they had undergone an oral examination and treatment for dental inflammation. Of these patients, 7 developed BRONJ with BP treatment, after tooth extraction or acute dental inflammation. Treating dental inflammation before prescribing BP prevented the development of BRONJ. BRONJ is highly intractable and does not resolve with the standard treatment for osteomyelitis. Therefore, preventive therapy, which can be achieved by cooperation between medical doctors and dentists, is currently the most effective strategy for BRONJ. Conservative treatment with antibiotics may also be useful for maintaining or improving the quality of life of BRONJ patients.

    Language:English  

    BACKGROUND: Antitumor effects of chemotherapeutic agents are commonly associated with the induction of apoptosis. Bax belongs to the Bcl-2 family and induces apoptosis. The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between enhanced Bax expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC; cell lines and clinical cases) and the antitumor effects of chemotherapy. METHODS: In three oral SCC cell lines, Bax expression before and after treatment with chemotherapeutic agents [docetaxel (TXT), cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil] was examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting. The effects of treatment were assessed by counting the number of viable cells and determining sub-G1 cells. Tissue samples (both biopsy specimens before chemotherapy and surgically excised specimens after chemotherapy) from nine patients with oral SCC who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy were immunostained for Bax. The relationship between enhancement of Bax expression and chemotherapeutic effects was established. RESULTS: Two of three cell lines did not express Bax mRNA or protein before treatment. After treatment, Bax expression was enhanced only by TXT in one cell line, but by all chemotherapeutic agents in the other two cell lines. In three of nine patients, Bax expression was not found before chemotherapy. Two of these three patients showed enhanced Bax expression after chemotherapy including TXT, but one still failed to express Bax. Both in cell lines and clinical cases, enhancement of Bax after chemotherapy was associated with antitumor effects. CONCLUSION: Certain chemotherapeutic agents enhance Bax expression in oral SCC, and it is suggested that this contributes to the antitumor effects of chemotherapy.

    Cell-cycle checkpoints controlling the orderly progression through mitosis are frequently disrupted in human cancers. One such checkpoint, entry into metaphase, is regulated by the CHFR gene encoding a protein possessing forkhead-associated and RING finger domains as well as ubiquitin-ligase activity. Although defects in this checkpoint have been described, the molecular basis and prevalence of CHFR inactivation in human tumors are still not fully understood. To address this question, we analyzed the pattern of CHFR expression in a number of human cancer cell lines and primary tumors. We found CpG methylation-dependent silencing of CHFR expression in 45% of cancer cell lines, 40% of primary colorectal cancers, 53% of colorectal adenomas, and 30% of primary head and neck cancers. Expression of CHFR was precisely correlated with both CpG methylation and deacetylation of histones H3 and H4 in the CpG-rich regulatory region. Moreover, CpG methylation and thus silencing of CHFR depended on the activities of two DNA methyltransferases, DNMT1 and DNMT3b, as their genetic inactivation restored CHFR expression. Finally, cells with CHFR methylation had an intrinsically high mitotic index when treated with microtubule inhibitor. This means that cells in which CHFR was epigenetically inactivated constitute loss-of-function alleles for mitotic checkpoint control. Taken together, these findings shed light on a pathway by which mitotic checkpoint is bypassed in cancer cells and suggest that inactivation of checkpoint genes is much more widespread than previously suspected.

    Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare benign tumor that occurs mainly in the pleura; however, it can also arise in other extrapleural sites, including the oral cavity. In 2002, the World Health Organization classified SFT as a tumor of intermediate malignancy characterized by metastases to the lung, bone and, rarely, liver. We report a case of SFT in the left side of the buccal region. A 52-year-old woman visited our hospital in June 2005 because of a painless swelling on the left side of the buccal region. A CT scan and MRI showed awell-defined solid tumor in the left side of the buccal region. The tumor was surgically resected, and histopathological examination revealed a SFT. There has been no recurrence ofthe tumor for 18 months since the operation. We review the literature with regard to the clinicopathologic features of SFT.

    Clinical examination of 24 N0 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue (10 cases), the floor of the mouth (10 cases), and mandibular gingiva (4 cases), which received unilateral supraomohyoid neck dissection, was retrospectively performed.&lt;BR&gt;Pathologically, lymph node metastasis was recognized in 8 cases (33.3%) of which prognoses are good. Among the 16 patients in which pathologically lymph node metastasis was not recognized, 1 patient had died of cervical lymph node metastasis, found after surgery, and the other 15 patients were surviving without recurrence or metastasis.&lt;BR&gt;Three metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) were recognized in 1 case, and 1&#039; LN in 7 cases. LNs were located in level 1 in 6 cases, and in level 2 in 2 cases. An extracapsular metastatic lesion was found in level 1 in 1 case. Histopathological malignancy of the primary lesion was relatively high in most of the cases examined.&lt;BR&gt;From the results, it is suggested that supraomohyoid neck dissection may be effective not only for diagnosis but also for therapy, considering the histopathological malignancy of the primary lesion.

    We clinically examined 29 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of tongue, floor of the mouth, and maxillary gingiva who received unilateral functional neck dissection with preservation of the sternocleidmastoid muscle, internal jugular vein, and/or accessory nerve.&lt;BR&gt;The 5-year cumulative survival rate of all patients was 80.4%, that of 19 pN (+) patients was 68.6%, and that of 10 pN (-) patients was 100%. Pathologically, 4 metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) were found in 1 patient, 3 LNs in 3 patients, 2 LNs in 6 patients, and 1 LN in 9 patients. LNs were located in level 1 in 5 paitents, level 2 in 12, and level 4 in 2. Extranodular metastatic lesions were found in level 1 in 1 patient and in level 2 in 4. Among the patients with a poor prognosis, 2 LNs were found in 2 patients, 3 LNs in 1, and 4 LNs in 1, extranodular lesions were found in 2 patients, and LNs were located in level 2 in all patients.&lt;BR&gt;Our results suggest that functional neck dissection is indicated for patients who have single and movable nodular metastatic lymph node.

    91 cases of cT1,2N0M0 OSCC treated with transoral resection of the primary tumor were assessed based on 3 types of invasive tumor patterns on histopathologic and pancytokeratin-stained immunohistological sections: the mode of invasion, worst pattern of invasion (WPOI), and tumor budding. The correlations among invasive tumor patterns, regional metastasis, and disease-free survival were analyzed. Of the 91 cases, 22 had pathologically proven regional metastasis. The mode of invasion and tumor budding were associated with regional metastasis as well as lymphovascular invasion in univariate analysis. All three invasive patterns, the mode of invasion, WPOI, and tumor budding, were found to be significant predictors of 5-year disease-free survivalas well as lymphovascular invasion and perineural invasion.
    Our results indicate that the intensity of tumor budding may be a novel diagnostic biomarker, as well as a therapeutic tool, for regional metastasis in patients with cT1,2N0M0 OSCC.

    2 - DG (2 - deoxy - D - glucose), a glucose metabolism inhibitor takes into tumor cells, but the amount of uptakes are depending on the phenotype of tumor cells. In our study, we established mice xenograft models with oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line , and we examined the antitumor effect by the combination of radiotherapy with 2-DG. As a result, in the group of the combination of radiotherapy with 2-DG, there is a significant tumor growth suppression compared with the control group and 2-DG alone. Our study suggested that 2-DG has synergistic effects when combined with radiotherapy, which might lead to the design of an effective metabolic target therapy.

    Oral cancer stem cells were isolated from oral cancer cell lines as aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 bright (ALDH1br) cells using the ALDEFLUOR assay. Expression of cancer stem cell-associated genes is increased in ALDH1br cells with a strong carcinogenesis and a high proliferative capacity. The small proline-rich protein-1B (SPRR1B) gene was shown to be overexpressed in ALDH1br cells. SPRR1B gene knockdown decreased the ALDH1br cell population and its proliferative capacity. Expression of the tumor suppressor gene Ras association domain family member 4 (RASSF4) was found to be suppressed in cells overexpressing SPRR1B. Our results suggest that oral cancer stem cells isolated as ALDH1br cells and SPRR1B have a role in cell growth by the suppression of RASSF4.

    Hypoxic regions in solid tumors mediate malignant transformation, cancer cell proliferation, resistance to anti-cancer agents, and enhanced cellular invasion and metastasis. In this study, we found that the wnt/β-catenin pathway activation mediates the acquisition of invasion and metastatic potential in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells. Hypoxia enhances the expression of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and anticancer drug resistance, and activates NF-κB/p65 to trigger cell proliferation.

    The mitotic checkpoint gene CHFR is silenced by promoter hypermethylation or mutated in various human cancers, suggesting that CHFR is an important tumor suppressor. Recent studies have reported that CHFR functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, resulting in the degradation of these proteins. To better understand how CHFR suppresses cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis, we sought to identify CHFR-interacting proteins using affinity purification combined with mass spectrometry. Herein, we showed poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), which catalyzes polyADP-ribosylation, to be a novel CHFR interacting protein. In CHFR expressing cells, mitotic stress induced the autoPARylation of PARP-1, resulting in an enhanced interaction between CHFR and PARP-1 and an increase in the polyubiquitination/degradation of PARP-1. The decrease in PARP-1 protein levels promoted cell cycle arrest at antephase, suggesting that the cells expressing CHFR were resistant to microtubule inhibitors. By contrast, in CHFR-silenced cells, polyubiquitination following autoPARylation of PARP-1 was not induced in response to mitotic stress. Thus, PARP-1 protein levels did not decrease, and cells progressed into mitosis under mitotic stress. Furthermore, we found that cells from Chfr knockout mice and CHFR-silenced primary gastric cancer tissues expressed higher levels of PARP-1 protein, strongly supporting our data that the interaction between CHFR and PARP-1 plays an important role in cell cycle regulation and cancer therapeutic strategies. Based on our studies, we demonstrate a significant advantage for use of combinational chemotherapy with PARP inhibitors for cancer cells resistant to microtubule inhibitors.

    Dysregulation of tumor suppressor gene p53 has been shown to play a significant role in development of a wide variety of human malignancies. Some investigators have suggested that accumulated expression of p53 gene protein is useful as a prognostic indicator in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), although others have reported conflicting result. The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between the expression of p53 gene protein and the clinicopathological features of 140 OSCC. Tumor biopsies obtained from patients with OSCC were examined for the immunohistochemical detection of p53 gene product with special reference to expression pattern correlated with clinicopathological findings and overall survival. Nuclear accumulation of p53 was visualized as marginal pattern, dispersed pattern, or mixed pattern. Simple evaluation of p53 expression (negative and positive) defined with value of 10% did not provide useful information as to the assessment of oral.cancer However, dispersed type p53 protein expression significantly correlated with nodal metastasis, differentiation of tumor cell, overall survival and mutation. These finding suggest that p53 expression may, but not p53 positivity, be one of biological makers for the degree of malignancy in OSCC.
    Genetic and epigenetic alterations in tumor-suppressor genes play important roles in human neoplasia. Ras signaling is often activated in OSCC, although RAS mutations are rarely detected in OSCC patients. In present study, we examined the expression and and methylation statuses of RAS association family (RASSF) genes in OSCC. We frequently detected methlaion of RASSF1 (7/17:41.2%) RASSF2 (12/17:70.6%), RASSF5 (4/17:23.5%) in a panel of OSCC cell lines, as well as in specimens collected from 46 OSCC patient (RASSF1, 6/46, 13.0%; RAsSF2,12/46, 26.1%; RASSF5,5/46,10.9%). Our findings indicate that epigenetic inactivation of RASSF plays a key role in OSCC tumorigenesis, and that RASSF may be an important molecular target for the diagnosis and treatment of OSCC.

As a result of the screening, we isolated canonical and noncanonical E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzymes as CHFR interacting proteins, which are involved in proteolytic and non-proteolytic ubiquitination respectively. This raises the possibility that CHFR is switching canonical and noncanonical ubiquitination depending on the situation of cells.On the other hand, we isolated gadd34 which interacted with the FHA domain of CHFR. Furthermore, CHFR moved in part from nucleus to cytoplasm in the presence of microtubule inhibitor docetaxel, which enabled colocalization of CHFR and gadd34 in cytoplasm. This colocalization was followed by cell death. These suggest that gadd34 and CHFR cooperate to mediate cell death in response to mitotic stress.
    (2) CHFR mitotic checkpoint protein inhibits the transcriptional activity of NF-kB.
    To clarify the molecular mechanisms by which CHFR modulates tumor growth, our analysis focused on transcriptional regulation mediated by CHFR. Using microarray analysis, we found that CHFR downregulated NF-kB signaling. NF-kB-dependent luciferase assay demonstrated that overexpression of CHFR inhibited NF-kB signaling. Moreover, knockdown of CHFR activated the NF-kB activity. Furthermore, we found that IL-8, one of the NF-kB target genes, was regulated by CHFR. mRNA and protein levels of IL-8 were significantly repressed by overexpression of CHFR. Altogether, our findings reveal a novel function of CHFR as a regulator of NF-kB signaling, and which might account for tumor suppression by CHFR.

    1 進展口腔扁平上皮癌を対象にタキサン系の抗癌薬であるdocetaxel投与を中心とした術前化学療法後、根治手術を行い、可能例には機能温存の為の縮小手術を適用した。今年度の研究においては、口腔癌細胞株を用いて術前化学療法効果を予測すべく、CHFR遺伝子のメチル化を指標としての実験と検証を行った。
    2 CHFRのM期調節における役割について検討する目的で、CHFRを発現している細胞と発現していない細胞で、microtubule inhibitorであるdocetaxel投与後の、mitotic indexについて解析した。CHFRがメチル化によって発現していない細胞株は、発現している細胞株に比べ有意に高いマイト-ティックインデックスを示した。また、メチル化阻害剤であるAzaC処理によってCHFRを再発現させたものはmitotic indexの著しい減少が認められ、CHFRによるcheckpointがマイトーシスへのエントリーの制御に重要であることが示唆された。M期調節遺伝子がメチル化により不活化している腫瘍では、G2/Mチェックポイントに異常を認めること、DNAダメージを与えるタイプの抗癌剤に感受性が高い可能性が示唆された。
    3 CHFRの異常は口腔癌だけでなく、大腸癌や胃癌、白血病など幅広い腫瘍で認められ、M期チェックポイント遺伝子の中で最も高頻度に変異を認めることが明らかとなった。これらの結果より、口腔癌細胞株においてCHFRのメチル化の有無をmicrotubule inhibitorに対する感受性予測のマーカーとして用いることが出来ると考えられた。
    4 RNAiにより遺伝子機能をノックダウンすることによりCHFR遺伝子のメチル化していない細胞株においてdocetaxel、paclitaxelに対して高い感受性を示した。臨床例においてはretrospectiveに検証した結果、生検時にCHFR遺伝子のメチル化を認める症例においては、非メチル化症例よりdocetaxelによる腫瘍縮小効果が高い傾向を示したが、有意差は認められなかった。
    5 エピジェネティックな異常により不活化されている遺伝子を網羅的に解析した結果、TCF2の不活化が、口腔癌を含む多臓器の癌化に寄与することが示唆された。
