Neutrophils regulate tumor angiogenesis in oral squamous cell carcinoma and the role of Chemerin.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the oral cavity. Tumor angiogenesis plays a crucial role in tumor progression. Studies have established the correlation between neutrophils and tumor angiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment.

Carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1 inhibits the antitumor effect of neutrophils in tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), a transmembrane glycoprotein, has multiple functions. In tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC), CEACAM1 overexpression is correlated with neutrophil infiltration, and both are associated with poor clinical outcomes. However, the mechanism underlying CEACAM1's effect on neutrophil function in TSCC remains unclear.

Suppression of TGF-β1 enhances chemosensitivity of cisplatin-resistant lung cancer cells through the inhibition of drug-resistant proteins.

Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but drug resistance occurs in most patients, leading to treatment failure. Recent studies have shown that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with drug resistance. However, the underlying mechanism is not entirely clear.

Relation between the expression of mitotic centromere-associated kinesin and the progression of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue.

Objective: Mitotic centromere-associated kinesin (MCAK) is a microtubule depolymerase indispensable for microtubule binding during spindle formation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of MCAK expression with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue (SCCOT).

Study Design: Immunohistochemistry was used in 47 cases of SCCOT.
