Metastasis-associated gene 1 promotes invasion and migration potential of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Overexpression of the metastasis-associated gene 1 (MTA1) has previously been found to be associated with progression of various cancer types to the metastasis stage. The function of MTA1 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remains unclear. To explore the significance of MTA1 in the invasion and migration processes in LSCC, gene transfection and RNA interference (RNAi) were performed to study the biological function of MTA1 in the LSCC cell line, HEP-2. Results showed that MTA1 promoted the invasion, adhesion and migration behavior of LSCC cells. RNAi against MTA1 significantly decreased the malignant phenotypes of cancer cells. MTA1 may be important in the process of LSCC invasion and metastasis.

Aurora kinase A revives dormant laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells via FAK/PI3K/Akt pathway activation
Revival of dormant tumor cells may be an important tumor metastasis mechanism. We hypothesized that aurora kinase A (AURKA), a cell cycle control kinase, promotes the transition of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) cells from G0 phase to active division. We therefore investigated whether AURKA could revive dormant tumor cells to promote metastasis. Western blotting revealed that AURKA ex...
متن کاملPredictors of Thyroid Gland Invasion in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Introduction: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can invade the thyroid gland leading to unnecessary thyroidectomies with subsequent hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism. Thus, clinicopathological variables should be defined in order to predict thyroid gland invasion preoperatively. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 1,465 patients with laryngeal SCC referr...

Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the most common and lethal type of primary brain tumors with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Treatment options are limited and ineffective in most of the cases. Epidemiological studies have shown a link between inflammation and glioma genesis. In addition, at the molecular level, pro-inflammatory cytokines released from activated microglia can increa...

Introduction:Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is an invasive neoplasm with a high prevalence. Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) has been thought to play an important role in both the invasion and metastasis of tumors. The aim of this study was to explore the significance of MMPs expression in clinical outcome of these patients. Materials:The most recognized data Bases such as PubMed, Google sc...
متن کاملRole of Brg1 in progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Objective(s): Epigenetic regulation of gene expression can be carried out through chromatin remodeling enzymes such as SWI/SNF. Brg1 also known as SMARCA4 is a catalytic subunit of SWI/SNF, which is necessary for MMPs expression. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known as important player enzymes during tumor progression and metastasis. Aberrant epigenetic modification of chromatin should be...
