Novel defined N7-methylguanosine modification-related lncRNAs for predicting the prognosis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Objective:Through integrated bioinformatics analysis,the goal of this work was to find new,characterised N7-methylguanosine modification-related long non-coding RNAs(m7G-lncRNAs)that might be used to predict the prognosis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC).Methods:The clinical data and LSCC gene expression data for the current investigation were initially retrieved from the TCGA database&sanitised.Then,using co-expression analysis of m7G-associated mRNAs&lncRNAs&differential expression analysis(DEA)among LSCC&normal sample categories,we discovered lncRNAs that were connected to m7G.The prognosis prediction model was built for the training category using univariate&multivariate COX regression&LASSO regression analyses,&the model’s efficacy was checked against the test category data.In addition,we conducted DEA of prognostic m7G-lncRNAs among LSCC&normal sample categories&compiled a list of co-expression networks&the structure of prognosis m7G-lncRNAs.To compare the prognoses for individuals with LSCC in the high-&low-risk categories in the prognosis prediction model,survival and risk assessments were also carried out.Finally,we created a nomogram to accurately forecast the outcomes of LSCC patients&created receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves to assess the prognosis prediction model’s predictive capability.Results:Using co-expression network analysis&differential expression analysis,we discovered 774 m7G-lncRNAs and 551 DEm7G-lncRNAs,respectively.We then constructed a prognosis prediction model for six m7G-lncRNAs(FLG−AS1,RHOA−IT1,AC020913.3,AC027307.2,AC010973.2 and AC010789.1),identified 32 DEPm7G-lncRNAs,analyzed the correlation between 32 DEPm7G-lncRNAs and 13 DEPm7G-mRNAs,and performed survival analyses and risk analyses of the prognosis prediction model to assess the prognostic performance of LSCC patients.By displaying ROC curves and a nomogram,we finally checked the prognosis prediction model's accuracy.Conclusion:By creating novel predictive lncRNA signatures for clinical diagnosis&therapy,our findings will contribute to understanding the pathogenetic process of LSCC.

Expression of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α and Its Relationship to Apoptosis and Proliferation in Human Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Summary: To investigate the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and its relationship to apoptosis and proliferation in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of HIF-1α and PCNA. Tunnel technique was used to detect in situ cell apoptosis in LSCC. Our results showed that the expression of HIF-1α was related to the clinical stages of cancer and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The relationship between HIF-1α and PCNA was statistically significant (P<0.05) and no relationship was found between HIF-1α and apoptosis (P>0.05) It is concluded that HIF-1α plays a role in the carcinogenesis of laryngeal carcinoma and is correlated with proliferation, but bears no relationship with the apoptosis of tumor cells in LSCC.

Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Cyclooxygenase-2 in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Its significance

n order to study the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） and cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2） in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma （LSCC） and its significance, the expression of VEGF mRNA and COX-2 mRNA in 62 cases of LSCC and 54 adjacent noncancerous laryngeal tissues and 9 normal human laryngeal mucous tissues was detected by using techniques of semi-quantitative RT-PCR. It was found that the expression level of VEGF and COX-2 mRNA was significantly increased in LSCC as compared with that in the normal human laryngeal mucous tissues （both P〈0. 01）, and the expression level of VEGF and COX-2 mRNA were significantly increased in stage Ⅲ＋ Ⅳtissues of LSCC as compared with the stage Ⅰ ＋ Ⅱ tissues of LSCC （P 〈0.01）. There was a high positive correlation between VEGF and COX-2 expression in LSCC （r= 0. 756,P〈0.01）. These data raise the possibility that VEGF and COX-2 may play key roles in the growth, invasion and metastasis of LSCC.

Prognostic and Predictive Protein Biomarkers in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma—A Systematic Review

Background: Despite recent advances in clinical management of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), the overall 5-year survival continues to be poor. Consequently, biomarkers of treatment response will need to be identified. Proteomic strategies are one way to attempt to identify such biomarkers. Methods: The Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched until 1st March 2014 using the terms “larynx”, “squamous cell carcinoma”, “proteomic”, and “biomarker”. Articles which met inclusion criteria were assessed for the type of biomarker investigated, the proteomic technique used, and whether any validation had been performed. Results: Six studies identified biomarkers, including UCRP, ceramides, uPA, MT1-MMP, stratifin, transferrin, albumin, S100 calcium-binding protein A9, stathmin, enolase, PLAU, IGFBP7, MMP14, THBS1, and transthyretin. Transferrin was the only biomarker to appear in more than one study. Conclusions: Our review identified several potential biomarkers of outcome in LSCC. Well designed studies will need to further validate their use in the future.

Changing the paradigm：the potential for targeted therapy in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC) remains a highly morbid and fatal disease. Historically, it has been a model example for organ preservation and treatment stratification paradigms. Unfortunately, survival for LSCC has stagnated over the past few decades. As the era of next-generation sequencing and personalized treatment for cancer approaches, LSCC may be an ideal disease for consideration of further treatment stratification and personalization. Here, we will discuss the important history of LSCC as a model system for organ preservation, unique and potentially targetable genetic signatures of LSCC, and methods for bringing stratified, personalized treatment strategies to the 21^(st) century.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with pingyangmycin can inhibit the amplification and metastasis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Objective:To evaluate the short-term effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with pingyangmycin(PYM)in the treat-ment of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:24 cases of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were treated with PYM before the operation,and the surgeries were undergone within one week after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.PCNA,p53,Bcl-2 and CD44v6 were detected in the specimens of tumor,retreated tumor and normal tissue using immunohistochemical methods.Results:Apoptosis could be detected more often in specimens with tumor and retreated tumor after chemotherapy than that before.The expression of PCNA,p53,Bcl-2 and CD44v6 in tumor tissue after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with PYM was weaker than that before the chemotherapy.There was significant difference in the positive ratio of PCNA,p53,Bcl-2 and CD44v6 be-tween retreated tumor and tumor.Conclusion:After neoadjuvant chemotherapy with PYM,a large number of tumor cells died.The amplification and metastasis of tumor were suppressed by neoadjuvant chemotherapy with PYM.

Prognostic Value of Ki67 and VE6F Expression in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic value of measuring Ki67 and VEGF expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). METHODS The expression of Ki67 and VEGF in 32 LSCC tissues was studied by immunohistochemical staining. Of these cases, 5 recurred (recurrent group), 3 cases metastasized (metastatic group), 8 cases died (deceased group) and 24 cased survived (survival group) over a 3 year period of follow-up after their operation. RESULTS The expression of Ki67 and VEGF in the deceased group was higher compared to that in the survival group (P<0.01). Overexpression of Ki67 was found in the recurrent group and in the metastatic group (P< 0.05). VEGF expression was higher in the recurrent group than in the non recurrent group (P<0.05). With Cox-regression of multivariate analysis, Ki67 (RR:3.236; P=0.001), the clinical T stage (RR: 1.382; P=0.029) and metastasis in lymph nodes (RR:0.316; P=0.033) were shown to be independent prognostic factors for survival of LSCC patients. CONCLUSION Ki67 and VEGF expression is related to the prognosis of LSCC. Overexpression of the 2 markers indicated poor prognosis of the disease, a finding which might be helpful for the treatment of laryngocar-cinoma.

Detection of Human Papilloma Virus Type 16 E6 mRNA in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by In Situ Hybridization

Objective：Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma（LSCC） is a common malignant tumor in Northeast China and is frequently associated with well-established risk factors like smoking and alcohol abuse.Human papilloma virus（HPV） is an epitheliotropic oncogenic virus that has been detected in a variety of head and neck tumors including LSCC.This retrospective study was to investigate the prevalence of HPV infection in patients with LSCC.Methods：In situ hybridization was performed in 99 patients with LSCC to detect the expression of HPV-16 E6 mRNA.Results：The positive rate of HPV16 E6 mRNA was 36.36%（36/99） in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma（LSCC）,whereas only 3 of 50（6%） specimens of the normal laryngeal mucosa as a control group showed positive results（P0.05）.Additionally,there was no corelation between HPV16 and age,gender,clinical stage,nodal status and tumor site（P0.05）.Conclusion：The results suggest that the increased prevalence of HPV infection compared to normal laryngeal mucosa and the fact that high-risk HPV types（especially type 16） were the most frequently identified do not allow the exclusion of HPV as a risk factor in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.However,their clinical value remains to be further investigated.

Prognostic value of body mass index before treatment for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Objective: Patients with head and neck cancer often suffer from malnutrition. This study aims to investigate the influence of body mass index(BMI) on the prognosis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC).Methods: A total of 473 patients with LSCC initially treated at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2005 and July 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. Survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model.Results: Low BMI before treatment was significantly associated with poor overall survival in patients with LSCC(P<0.001). BMI was an independent prognostic factor for patients with LSCC.Conclusion: Leanness before treatment was associated with poor prognosis in patients with LSCC. Good nutritional status is favorable to improve survival in patients with LSCC.

A CORRELATIVE STUDY OF Ki67 AND VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AND THEIR VALUE IN LARYNGEAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

Objective： To study the correlation between Ki67 and vascular endothelial growth factor（VEGF） and the significance of their expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma（LSCC）. Methods： The expressions of Ki67 and VEGF in 40 cases of LSCC and 5 cases of normal laryngeal mucosa were examined by immunohistochemical staining. Results： The expression levels of Ki67 and VEGF in LSCC tissue were higher than in normal laryngeal mucosa （Ki67： P〈0.001, VEGF： P〈0.001）. The two indexes＇ levels in patients of different age or different sex had no significant difference （P〉0.05）. They were higher in LSCC with metastasis of lymph nodes than in patients without metastasis （Ki67： P=0.034, VEGF： P=0.006）. The expressions of the two genes elevated correspondingly along with the development of LSCC T stage （P〈0.05）. In addition, correlation analysis indicated that the expression of Ki67 had a positive correlation with VEGF in LSCC（r=0.823, P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Ki67 and VEGF are objective indexes for the biological behavior of LSCC, and they might be helpful to the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of laryngocarcinoma.

Effect and mechanism of miR-34a on proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of laryngeal carcinoma cells

Objective: To discuss the effect and mechanism of miR-34 a on the proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of laryngeal carcinoma cells. Methods: The laryngeal squamous carcinoma Hep2 cells were transiently transfected with miR-34 a mimics and miR-34 a NC. The MTT, colony-forming assay, Hoechst staining and Annexin V-PI double staining flow cytometry were employed to detect the effect of miR-34 a on the viability and apoptosis of laryngeal squamous carcinoma Hep2 cells; Transwell assay to defect the effect of miR-34 a on the migration and invasion of laryngeal squamous carcinoma Hep2 cells; western blot and RTPCR assay to defect the effect of miR-34 a mimics on the expression of survivin and Ki-67 m RNA in laryngeal squamous carcinoma Hep2 cells. Results: Compared with miR-34 a NC group, the cell viability in miR-34 mimics group was significantly decreased(P<0.01), the cell apoptosis rate was significantly increased(P<0.01), the abilities of cell migration and invasion were significantly reduced(P<0.01) and the expression of survivin and Ki-67 m RNA was significantly decreased(P<0.01). Conclusions: The increased expression of miR-34 a can induce the apoptosis of Hep2 laryngeal carcinoma cells and inhibit the cell proliferation and invasion, which is related to the down-regulated expression of survivin and Ki-67.

PIK3CA mutation in Chinese patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma

Objective： To investigate PIK3CA mutation in Chinese patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma （LSCC） and explore their relationship with clinicopathological profiles. Methods： Tumor samples from 123 cases of LSCC were included in this study. PIK3CA mutations in exon 9 and 20 were screened by pyrosequencing and confirmed by clone sequencing or amplification refractory mutation system （ARMS）. Denaturing performance liquid chromatography （DHPLC） was employed for evaluation of EGFR mutation in exon 19, 21 and KRAS mutation. Results： PIK3CA mutations were found in 3 （2.4%） patients. The mutation type included E545K, E452Q and H1047R. Of these three patients, one coupled with EGFR mutation, and the other two coupled with PIK3CA amplification. All the three patients shared the same clinicopathologic characteristics： male, less than 60 years old, had smoke history, stage III and carried wild-type KRAS. Conclusions： The frequency of PIK3CA mutation is low in Chinese patients with LSCC. The mutational status of PIK3CA is not mutually exclusive to EGFR mutation.

LSM6 promotes cell proliferation and migration regulated by HMGB1 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Elevated levels of high mobility group protein B1(HMGB1)play a significant role in the pathogenesis of many diseases,but is particularly important for the formation of malignant tumors.Nonetheless,the function of HMGB1 and the underlying mechanism of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC)remain incompletely understood,causing uncertainty.Here we found immunohistochemistry from 97 LSCC tissues showed HMGB1 was upreg-ulated,which was associated with poor differentiation.HMGB1 knockdown could significantly inhibit wound closure and colony formation.The full-genome gene expression microarray was performed to investigate the mechanism.After knockdown of HMGB1 by siRNA,among the expressed differential genes,10 genes were ran-domly selected for validation.Then,shRNA lentivirus targeting these genes were constructed to explore their role in LSCC by cell proliferation assay.LSM6 downregulation was dramatically promoted by HMGB1 knockdown,resulting in higher expression in LSCC tissues.Furthermore,downregulation of LSM6 could significantly suppress cell proliferation,migration and colony formation.This study indicated that HMGB1 promoted LSCC cell malig-nant phenotypes through regulation of LSM6.We anticipate that HMGB1-LSM6 could be a putative therapeutic target for LSCC.

Clinical significance of tumor-associated macrophage infiltration in supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma

Tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs) can elicit contrasting effects on tumor progression,depending on different tumor microenvironment.This study aimed to explore the correlation between TAM infiltration and clinicopathologic characteristics,metastasis,and prognosis of supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma.TAMs in intratumoral and peritumoral regions of 84 specimens of supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining with monoclonal CD68 antibody.The density of peritumoral CD68+ TAMs in recurrence cases(9/11) and in dead cases(17/23) were significantly higher than those in non-recurrence cases(33/73) and in survival cases(25/61),with significant differences(P = 0.024 and 0.007,respectively).The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a significant relationship between the infiltration of both intratumoral and peritumoral CD68 + TAMs and the overall survival of patients.The 5year survival rate was significantly lower in the group with a high density of intratumoral CD68+ TAMs than in the group with a low density(39.6% vs.82.5%,P < 0.05).Similarly,the 5-year survival rate was significantly lower in the group with a high density of peritumoral CD68+ TAMs than in the group with a low density(50.6% vs.73.1%,P < 0.05).Cox regression analysis revealed that T classification,distant metastasis,and intratumoral or peritumoral CD68 + TAMs were independent factors for disease-free survival,whereas T classification and intratumoral CD68 + TAMs were independent factors for overall survival.The results indicate that TAM infiltration in supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma can be used to predict metastasis and prognosis and is an independent factor for prognosis.
