Association between p53 protein overexpression and clinical and pathological parameters as well as prognosis of patients were also analyzed. p53 protein overexpression was commonly observed (69. 4%) in OSCC and may be used as a marker of carcinogenesis of OSCC. The level of p53 protein overexpression is correlated with the lower three and five-year survival rate of OSCC. The presence or absence of p53 overexpression was not correlated with sex, age, site of tumor, size of tumor, degree of differentiation,node status,and clinical stage in OSCC. Single factor COX proportional hazards regression model analysis indicated that there was no significant association between p53 overexpression and prognosis of OSCC. Multivariable COX model analysis failed to establish effective life function or risk rate function. These showed that all the parameters analyzed in this study as well as p53 overexpression were not significant and effective risk factors of prognosis for patients with OSCC.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to screen differentially expressed mRNAs in OSCC and matched paraneoplastic normal tissues, and to explore the intrinsic mechanism of OSCC development and progres- sion. We obtained the differentially expressed mRNA expression profiles in 10 pairs of fresh-frozen OSCC tissue specimens and matched paraneoplastic normal tissue specimens by high-throughput RNA sequencing. By using Gene Ontology enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analyses, the functional significance of the differentially expressed genes were analyzed. We identified 1,120 sig- nificantly up-regulated mRNAs and 178 significantly down-regulated mRNAs in OSCC, compared to normal tissue. The differentially expressed mRNAs were involved in 20 biological processes and 68 signal pathways. Compared to adjacent normal tissue, the expression of MAGEAll was up-regulated; TCHH was down-regulated. These find- ings were verified by real-time PCR. These differentially expressed mRNAs may function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in the development and progression of OSCC. This study provides novel insights into OSCC. However, further work is needed to determine if these differentially expressed mRNAs have potential roles as diagnostic bio- markers and candidate therapeutic targets for OSCC.展开更多
