Objective: To investigate the effects of caveolin-1 (CAV1) on the growth of hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) FaDu cells in vitro and in vivo.
Methods: A CAV1-RNAi-lentivirus construct was transfected into FaDu cells and expression of caveolin-1 was tested by RT-PCR and western blotting analysis. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by transferase-medisated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Tumor inhibition effects were investigated by injecting rCAV1-RNAi-lentivirus construct into tumors created with FaDu cells in the HSCC mouse model, with the empty-vector lentivirus as a control. CAV1 expression in xenografts was tested by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.
Results: RT-PCR and western blot analysis demonstrated successful construction of the CAV1-RNAi-lentivirus construct producing small hairpin RNA. The average weights and volumes of tumor in mice treated with CAV1-RNAi-lentivirus were lower than in mice with control treatment (P < 0.05). RT-PCR revealed weak positive expression of CAV1 in CAV1-construct-treated xenografts and immunohistochemistry confirmed lower CAV1 expression than in controls.(P < 0.05). In addition, downregulation of CAV1 increased cell apoptosis in vitro.
Conclusion: The growth of HSCCs could be inhibited by recombinant CAV1-RNAi-lentivirus in vitro and in vivo.

Energy delivered at different wavelengths causes different types of damage to DNA. PC-3, FaDu, 4T1 and B16-F10 cells were irradiated with different wavelengths of ultraviolet light (UVA/UVC) and ionizing radiation (X-ray). Furthermore, different photosensitizers (ortho-iodo-Hoechst33258/psoralen/trioxsalen) were tested for their amplifying effect.

KGF, also known as FGF7, is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family that binds with high affinity to the FGF receptor 2b (FGFR2b) and regulates various cellular processes, including cell proliferation and differentiation in a variety of tumors. However, its potential role in hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC) remains largely unknown. In our study, we observed increased expression of FGFR2b in HPC.

Cetuximab resistance is a significant challenge in the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In this study, cetuximab-resistant HNSCC cell lines were established, and untargeted metabolomics was used to detect differences in metabolite profiles between sensitive and resistant cell lines. It was found that glutathione metabolism significantly differed between the sensitive and resistant lines.

In this current work, we dedicated efforts to designing and synthesizing new 1,2,3-triazole-analogues (5a-d), (6a-d), and (7a-c) to act as dual VEGFR-2 and telomerase inhibitors with promising apoptotic potential. The synthesized analogues were examined against eleven diverse types of cancer cells and two normal cells to assess their ability to inhibit cell growth (GI%). Obviously, compound 7b showed the best average GI% (75.
