Expression levels of cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3 in tumorigenesis and prognosis of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma
Apoptosis plays a dual role in cancer development and malignancy. The role of apoptosis-related caspases in cancer remains controversial, particularly in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC). In this study, we examined the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 on tissue microarrays consisting of samples from 246 OTSCC patients by immunohistochemistry. W...
متن کاملCaspase-3 expression in tumorigenesis and prognosis of buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma
Buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma (BMSCC) is the most common oral cancer in Southeast Asia. Caspase-3, a key molecule in regulating apoptosis, promotes the malignancy of various cancers. However, its role in BMSCC is unknown. Herein, we evaluated the association of caspase-3 expression with tumorigenesis and prognosis in BMSCC patients. Immunohistochemical staining indicated that the expres...
متن کاملCaspase-3 expression in normal oral epithelium, oral submucous fibrosis and oral squamous cell carcinoma
CONTEXT The epithelium atrophy, as the oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) progresses, is believed to be an after effect of stromal fibrosis, hyalinization, decrease in vascularity and cellularity and is considered as "ischemic atrophy." Due to hypoxia, caspase-3 get activation and subsequent decrease in viable cell count can occur. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To determine caspase-3 expression in various ...
متن کاملexpression of galectins 1, 3 and 9 in normal oral epithelium, oral squamous papilloma, and oral squamous cell carcinoma
back ground: the aim of this study was to characterize the immunohistochemical expression of galectin 1, 3, and 9 in normal oral epithelium, oral squamous papilloma, and oral squamous cell carcinoma. materials and methods: immunohistochemical staining for galectins 1, 3, and 9 was evaluated in 8 samples of normal oral squamous epithelium, 15 samples of oral squamous papilloma, and 41 samples of...
متن کاملConstitutive Activation of Caspase-3 in Non-Apoptotic Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells
Caspase-3 is a member of the cysteine protease family and plays a critical role in the regulation of programmed cell death (apoptosis) [1]. Caspase-3 expression has been extensively studied in many cancers. The positive correlation between its expression and a favorable prognosis has been reported in several cancers, suggesting its use as a prognostic marker for cancers [2]. In oral squamous ce...
