High expression of CD9 and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor promotes the development of tongue cancer.

Tongue cancer is distinguished by aggressive behavior, a high risk of recurrence, lymph, and distant metastases. Hypoxia-Induced Factor 1 α functions as a CD9 transcription factor. CD9 is a transmembrane protein that may be found on the cell membrane.

Prognostic significance of tetraspanin CD9 and oncogenic epidermal growth factor receptor in tongue squamous cell carcinoma survival.

The most prevalent locations for head and neck cancer is the tongue. The surviving patients who are receiving therapy have considerably compromised speech, taste, chewing, and swallowing. CD9 is a cell surface protein that has contradictory role in cancer progression.

Tetraspanin CD9: A friend or foe of head and neck cancer (Review).

Head and neck cancers are diverse and complex diseases characterised by unregulated growth of tumour cells in various parts of the head and neck region, such as in the buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, tongue, oropharynx, hypopharynx, oesophagus, nasopharynx and salivary glands. Partial or total glossectomy, radiation or chemotherapy greatly affect patient quality of life. However, even following treatment, patients may relapse.

Insight into OroxylinA-7--β-d-Glucuronide-Enriched Bark Extract in Oral Cancer HSC-3 Cell Apoptotic Mechanism: Role of Mitochondrial Microenvironment.

, of the Bignoniaceae family, has various ethnomedical uses such as an astringent, anti-inflammatory, anti-bronchitis, anti-helminthic and anti-microbial, including anticancer properties. The druggability of OI stem bark extract was determined by its molecular docking interactions with PARP and Caspase-3, two proteins involved in cell survival and death. Note that 50 µg/mL of extract (OIE) showed a significant ( < 0.

ω-6/ω-3 fatty acid ratio as an essential predictive biomarker in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objectives: Intake of dietary fatty acid may play a major role in the prevention and management of lifestyle-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Therefore, the aim of this study was to find an association between ω-6 to ω-3 fatty acid ratio and T2DM.

Methods: Fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and insulin were measured using commercially available kits.

F-box protein FBXO16 functions as a tumor suppressor by attenuating nuclear β-catenin function.

Aberrant activation of β-catenin has been implicated in a variety of human diseases, including cancer. In spite of significant progress, the regulation of active Wnt/β-catenin-signaling pathways is still poorly understood. In this study, we show that F-box protein 16 (FBXO16) is a putative tumor suppressor.

Protein Phosphatase 1 Regulatory Subunit SDS22 Inhibits Breast Cancer Cell Tumorigenesis by Functioning as a Negative Regulator of the AKT Signaling Pathway.

Protein phosphatases play a crucial role in cell cycle progression, cell survival, cellular signaling, and genomic integrity. The protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) regulatory subunit SDS22 plays a significant role in cell cycle progression. A recent study showed that SDS22 plays a vital role in epithelial integrity and tumor suppression in Drosophila.

Glucose induced activation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma is regulated by DKK4.

Elevated glycemic index, an important feature of diabetes is implicated in an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of this association are relatively less explored. Present study investigates the effect of hyperglycemia over HCC proliferation.

Regulation of urokinase receptor expression by protein tyrosine phosphatases.

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) play a major role in several physiological processes such as cell migration, proliferation, morphogenesis, and regulation of gene expression. Many of the biological activities of uPA depend on its association with uPAR. uPAR expression and its induction by uPA are regulated at the posttranscriptional level.

Salivary glycoproteins as indicators of oral diseases.

The present study deals with the estimation of total carbohydrate, protein bound carbohydrate, bound fucose and sialic acid along with total protein in disease conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis and their comparison with the normals.The neutral hexose values in gingivitis (8.08±2.
