Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the head and neck, and 90% of cases are oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Chemotherapy is an important component of comprehensive treatment for OSCC. However, the clinical treatment effect of chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin (DOX), is limited due to the lack of tumor targeting and rapid clearance by the immune system. Thus, based on the tumor-targeting and immune evasion abilities of macrophages, macrophage membrane-encapsulated poly(methyl vinyl ether alt maleic anhydride)-phenylboronic acid-doxorubicin nanoparticles (MM@PMVEMA-PBA-DOX NPs), briefly as MM@DOX NPs, were designed to target OSCC. The boronate ester bonds between PBA and DOX responded to the low pH value in the tumor microenvironment, selectively releasing the loaded DOX. RESULTS The results showed that MM@DOX NPs exhibited uniform particle size and typical core-shell structure. As the pH decreased from 7.4 to 5.5, drug release increased from 14 to 21%. The in vitro targeting ability, immune evasion ability, and cytotoxicity of MM@DOX NPs were verified in HN6 and SCC15 cell lines. Compared to free DOX, flow cytometry and fluorescence images demonstrated higher uptake of MM@DOX NPs by tumor cells and lower uptake by macrophages. Cell toxicity and live/dead staining experiments showed that MM@DOX NPs exhibited stronger in vitro antitumor effects than free DOX. The targeting and therapeutic effects were further confirmed in vivo. Based on in vivo biodistribution of the nanoparticles, the accumulation of MM@DOX NPs at the tumor site was increased. The pharmacokinetic results demonstrated a longer half-life of 9.26 h for MM@DOX NPs compared to 1.94 h for free DOX. Moreover, MM@DOX NPs exhibited stronger tumor suppression effects in HN6 tumor-bearing mice and good biocompatibility. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, MM@DOX NPs is a safe and efficient therapeutic platform for OSCC.

Association of alcohol consumption, betel nut chewing, and cigarette smoking with mortality in patients with head and neck cancer among the Taiwanese population: A nationwide population-based cohort study. Cancer Epidemiol 2024; 89:102526. [PMID: 38266595 DOI: 10.1016/j.canep.2024.102526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the association of alcohol consumption, betel nut chewing, and cigarette smoking (ABC) with mortality in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). This nationwide population-based cohort study determined whether ABC habits were associated with overall or cancer-specific mortality in patients with HNC in Taiwan. METHODS Data from the Taiwan Cancer Registry and Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database were used to identify patients with HNC from 2011 to 2017. All the identified patients were monitored until the date of death or the end of 2017. Poisson regression models were employed to estimate the incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) associated with the effect of ABC habits on mortality. RESULTS A total of 31,246 patients with HNC were analyzed in this study. The results revealed that betel nut chewing alone exhibited the strongest effect, significantly increasing the risk of overall mortality (adjusted IRR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.27-1.63). Additionally, betel nut chewing alone was significantly associated with cancer-specific mortality (adjusted IRR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.30-1.44). Stratified analyses by sex and tumor location indicated that the effect of betel nut chewing alone on overall or cancer-specific mortality remained significant across both sexes, and among patients with oral cancer and patients with oropharyngeal cancer. CONCLUSIONS ABC habits, particularly betel nut chewing, are significantly associated with diminished survival rates in patients with HNC. Accordingly, the implementation of an integrated campaign targeting the prevention of betel nut chewing would be one of the effective public health strategies for improving outcomes for HNC patients.

Abstract
FOXM1 is an oncogenic transcriptional factor and includes several isoforms generated by alternative splicing. Inclusion of alternative exon 9 produces FOXM1a, a transcriptionally inactive isoform. However, the role of FOXM1a in tumorigenesis remains unknown. In addition, the regulatory mechanisms of exon 9 splicing are also unclear. In the present study, we found that overexpression of FOXM1a significantly reduced cell proliferation and colony formation of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell proliferation in vitro. Importantly, OSCC cells with FOXM1a overexpression showed significantly slower tumor formation in nude mice. Moreover, we identified a U-rich exonic splicing suppressor (ESS) which is responsible for exon 9 skipping. Splicing factor heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (hnRNP C) can bind to the ESS and suppress exon 9 inclusion and FOXM1a expression. Silence of hnRNP C also significantly suppresses OSCC cell proliferation. HnRNP C is significantly co-expressed with FOXM1 in cancers. Our study uncovered a novel regulatory mechanism of oncogene FOXM1 expression in OSCC.

Abstract
Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) contains antibiotic and anticancer activities. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the anticancer properties and mechanisms of CAPE and caffeamide derivatives in the oral squamous cell carcinoma cell (OSCC) lines SAS and OECM-1. The anti-OSCC effects of CAPE and the caffeamide derivatives (26G, 36C, 36H, 36K, and 36M) were evaluated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide test. Cell cycle and total reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were analyzed using flow cytometry. The relative protein expression of malignant phenotypes was determined via Western blot analysis. The results showed that 26G and 36M were more cytotoxic than the other compounds in SAS cells. After 26G or 36M treatment for 48 h, cell cycle S phase or G2/M phase arrest was induced, and cellular ROS increased at 24 h, and then decreased at 48 h in both cell lines. The expression levels of cell cycle regulatory and anti-ROS proteins were downregulated. In addition, 26G or 36M treatment inhibited malignant phenotypes through mTOR-ULK1-P62-LC3 autophagic signaling activated by ROS generation. These results showed that 26G and 36M induce cancer cell death by activating autophagy signaling, which is correlated with altered cellular oxidative stress.

Abstract
Human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has been associated with a relatively low survival rate over the years and is characterized by a poor prognosis. C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CX3CL1) has been involved in advanced migratory cells. Overexpressed CX3CL1 promotes several cellular responses related to cancer metastasis, including cell movement, migration and invasion in tumour cells. However, CX3CL1 controls the migration ability, and its molecular mechanism in OSCC remains unknown. The present study confirmed that CX3CL1 increased cell movement, migration and invasion. The CX3CL1-induced cell motility is upregulated through intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in OSCC cells. These effects were significantly suppressed when OSCC cells were pre-treated with CX3CR1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and small-interfering RNA (siRNA). The CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis activates promoted PLCβ/PKCα/c-Src phosphorylation. Furthermore, CX3CL1 enhanced activator protein-1 (AP-1) activity. The CX3CR1 mAb and PLCβ, PKCα, c-Src inhibitors reduced CX3CL1-induced c-Jun phosphorylation, c-Jun translocation into the nucleus and c-Jun binding to the ICAM-1 promoter. The present results reveal that CX3CL1 induces the migration of OSCC cells by promoting ICAM-1 expression through the CX3CR1 and the PLCβ/PKCα/c-Src signal pathway, suggesting that CX3CL1-CX3CR1-mediated signalling is correlated with tumour motility and appealed to be a precursor for prognosis in human OSCC.

Abstract
We aimed to assess the quality of life for head and neck carcinoma (HNC) patients who underwent soft tissue resection and reconstruction with double-paddle peroneal artery perforator (DPAP) free flap. The quality of life was assessed by means of the University of Washington quality of life (UW-QOL) and the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaires at 12 months postoperatively. Data from 57 patients were retrospectively analysed. Out of these, 51 patients were at TNM stage III or IV. Finally, 48 patients finished and returned the two questionnaires. In the UW-QOL questionnaire, the mean (SD) higher scores were pain 76.5 (6.4), shoulder 74.3 (9.6), and activity 71.6 (6.1), whereas the lower scores were chewing 49.7 (5.2), taste 51.1 (7.7), and saliva (56.7 (7.4). In the OHIP-14 questionnaire, the higher-scoring domains were psychological discomfort (69.3 (9.6) and psychological disability 65.2 (5.8), whereas the lower-scoring domains were handicap 28.7 (4.3) and physical pain 30.4 (8.1). The DPAP free flap significantly improved appearance, activity, shoulder, mood, psychological discomfort, and handicap compared with pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap reconstruction. In conclusion, DPAP free flap for reconstruction of tissue defects after soft tissue resection of HNC significantly improved the patients' QOL compared to pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap reconstruction.

Abstract
Introduction In developing countries, oral cancer (OC) is estimated to be the third most common malignancy after cancer of the cervix and stomach. The aim of this study was to report the prevalence of OC for 3 years and its association with age, gender, type, and duration of habits along with the site of OC. Materials and Methods This study was conducted in the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology from January 2019 to December 2021. All the patients were examined after recording their demographic data using a mouth mirror and probe. The diagnosis of OC was arrived based on the clinical features of the lesions. The type and duration of habits and site were recorded in clinical pro forma. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 21.0 was used for the statistical analysis, the Chi-square test was applied, and the significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results The prevalence of OC was 0.22% in our study. Of 317 cases, the majority of the patients were males (n = 204), and females (n = 113) accounted for a male: female ratio of 2:1. The most common age affected was 51-70 years with a history of tobacco chewing, followed by patients with multiple habits (smokers, tobacco chewers, and alcoholic). The buccal mucosa was the most common site followed by malignancies of multiple sites. Conclusion Regular camps regarding tobacco cessation and counseling should be taken care of by dentists. Male patients aged above 40 years are routinely recommended for dental visits.

Abstract
The most prevalent oral cancer globally is oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The invasion of adjacent bones and the metastasis to regional lymph nodes often lead to poor prognoses and shortened survival times in patients with OSCC. Encouraging immunotherapeutic responses have been seen with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs); however, these positive responses to monotherapy have been limited to a small subset of patients. Therefore, it is urgent that further investigations into optimizing immunotherapies are conducted. Areas of research include identifying novel immune checkpoints and targets and tailoring treatment programs to meet the needs of individual patients. Furthermore, the advancement of combination therapies against OSCC is also critical. Thus, additional studies are needed to ensure clinical trials are successful. Mice models are advantageous in immunotherapy research with several advantages, such as relatively low costs and high tumor growth success rate. This review paper divided methods for establishing OSCC mouse models into four categories: syngeneic tumor models, chemical carcinogen induction, genetically engineered mouse, and humanized mouse. Each method has advantages and disadvantages that influence its application in OSCC research. This review comprehensively surveys the literature and summarizes the current mouse models used in immunotherapy, their advantages and disadvantages, and details relating to the cell lines for oral cancer growth. This review aims to present evidence and considerations for choosing a suitable model establishment method to investigate the early diagnosis, clinical treatment, and related pathogenesis of OSCC.

Abstract
Oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and oral cancer affect millions of people worldwide. Much research has been conducted to understand the pathogenetic mechanisms of these diseases and translate this knowledge into therapeutics. This review aims to take the reader on a journey from the initial molecular discoveries to complex regenerative issues in oral medicine. For this, a semi-systematic literature search was carried out in Medline and Web of Science databases to retrieve the primary literature describing oral cell models and biomaterial applications in oral regenerative medicine. First, an in vitro cell model of gingival keratinocytes is discussed, which illustrates patho- and physiologic principles in the context of oral epithelial homeostasis and carcinogenesis and represents a cellular tool to understand biomaterial-based approaches for periodontal tissue regeneration. Consequently, a layered gradient nonwoven (LGN) is described, which demonstrates that the key features of biomaterials serve as candidates for oral tissue regeneration. LGN supports proper tissue formation and obeys the important principles for molecular mechanotransduction. Furthermore, current biomaterial-based tissue regeneration trends, including polymer modifications, cell-based treatments, antimicrobial peptides and optogenetics, are introduced to represent the full spectrum of current approaches to oral disease mitigation and prevention. Altogether, this review is a foray through established and new concepts in oral regenerative medicine and illustrates the process of knowledge translation from basic molecular and cell biological research to future clinical applications.

Ndayisabye H, Ndagijimana A, Biracyaza E, Umubyeyi A. Factors Associated With Oral Cancer Adverse Outcome at the Rwanda Military Hospital, a Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study. FRONTIERS IN ORAL HEALTH 2022; 3:844254. [PMID: 35368313 PMCID: PMC8971924 DOI: 10.3389/froh.2022.844254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Oral cancer (OC) is one of the most common cancers that remain global public health concerns in low- and middle-income countries. The epidemiology of OC in Africa endures uncertain. Earlier reports suggested a relatively low incidence of OC among Africans. Acting on behavioral factors and setting early diagnosis and treatments of OC can tremendously reduce morbidity and mortality related to it. This study determined factors associated with the OC adverse outcome and death in the Rwanda Military Hospital. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 311 medical records of patients who consulted in the Oral and Maxilla Facial Department between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2019. Associated factors were estimated by use of odds ratios (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) in bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to estimate predictors of an OC adverse outcome and death. Almost three quarters of the participants were from rural areas (n = 229, 73.6%) and alcohol users (n = 247, 79.1%). Concerning primary site infection, 54.02% of the participants had the intra-oral cavity within the past 5 years. Muslims had greater odds to experience an OC adverse outcome and death [aOR = 6.7; 95% CI (3.8–11.9), p < 0.001] than the Catholics. Those with no formal education significantly had greater likelihoods to have an OC adverse outcome and death [aOR = 2.6; 95% CI (1.3–5.3), p = 0.005] than those with higher education or university. Those with primary education had greater likelihoods [aOR = 1.8; 95% CI (1.1–3.1), p = 0.03] to have an OC adverse outcome than those with higher or university education. Those with oral hygiene had less risk to have an OC adverse outcome and death [aOR = 0.2; 95% CI (0.0–0.9), p = 0.039] than their counterparts. Using multi-sectorial approaches, including policy makers, clinicians, and researchers from public and private institutions, may be of an added value to promote clinical research on OC for earning knowledge, contributing to combat risk behaviors and improve the population's information and education on OC prevention.

Effect of EGFR on SQSTM1 Expression in Malignancy and Tumor Progression of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212226. [PMID: 34830108 PMCID: PMC8625971 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222212226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common types of malignant tumor. Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) serves as an adaptor of autophagy for degrading protein aggregates. The regulation of autophagy by EGFR and its clinical impacts are indicated in various types of cancer. However, the association of EGFR and SQSTM1 in OSCC is still unknown. Our results show that the expression levels of SQSTM1 and EGFR proteins are higher in tumor tissues than in the corresponding tumor-adjacent (CTAN) tissues of OSCC patients. The expression levels of SQSTM1 were positively associated with the EGFR expression level. High co-expression of SQSTM1 and EGFR is associated with poor prognosis in OSCC patients. Moreover, SQSTM1 expression is decreased in EGFR-knockdown cells. Cell growth and invasion/migration are also decreased in cells with single/combined knockdowns of EGFR and SQSTM1 or in SQSTM1-knockdown cells without EGFR kinase inhibitor Lapatinib treatment compared to that in scrambled cells. However, cell growth and invasion/metastasis were not significantly different between the scrambled cells and SQSTM1-knockdown cells in the presence of Lapatinib. This study is the first to indicate the biological roles and clinical significance of SQSTM1 regulation by EGFR in OSCC.
