Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most frequent type of oral malignancy with high metastasis and poor prognosis. The deubiquitinating enzyme Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 44 (USP44) regulates the mitotic checkpoint, and its deficiency leads to aneuploidy and increases tumor incidence. However, the role of USP44 in OSCC is not well understood.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate possible hub genes, associated pathways, and transcription factors between chronic periodontitis (CP) and Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: Gene expression profiles of CP (GSE16134, GSE23586, and GSE10334) and PD (GSE20141 and GSE49036) were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database for differential expression analysis and functional clustering analysis. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed, and hub genes were screened by four topological analysis algorithms and modular segmentation.
Objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common malignancy in the oral and maxillofacial regions with an increasing incidence rate. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a recently discovered long-chain non-coding RNA family member. The objective of this study was to analyze the role of circ_0068162 in OSCC development.
