Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been widely reported to participate in progression of various cancers, including oral cancer. Previous study showed circ_0001461 was aberrantly expressed in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), while its role in tumorigenesis of OSCC remains largely unclear. In this study, we confirmed that circ_0001461 was highly expressed in OSCC cell lines and tumor tissues. Knocking down of circ_0001461 suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro, and repress xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, we found circ_0001461 regulates OSCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion through sponging miR-145. Furthermore, circ_0001461 promotes the resistance of TNF-α-induced apoptosis of OSCC cells by modulating miR-145/TLR4/NF-κB pathway. In general, our study demonstrated a novel regulatory mechanism that circ_0001461/miR-145/TLR4/NF-κB axis modulates oral squamous cell carcinoma progression.

Macrophages are crucial immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME), involved in regulating tumor proliferation, invasion, metastasis, ECM remodeling, angiogenesis, and immunosuppression. Although more and more experimental evidence and clinical data indicate that macrophages are involved in the onset and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the exact pathogenesis of OSCC associated with macrophages has not been fully elucidated. Enhanced knowledge of the molecular mechanisms involving macrophages in OSCC will aid in the creation of treatments targeted specifically at macrophages.

Background: The advanced stage of cancer is a determining factor in poor prognosis. Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are highly incident in Brazil, but similarly to many Low and Middle-Income Countries, data is limited regarding the proportion of tumours diagnosed at advanced clinical stages and the main factors associated with it. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors associated with advanced stage of HNSCC in Brazil.

Emerging evidence shows that lipid metabolic reprogramming plays a vital role in tumor metastasis. The effect and mechanism of fatty acids and lipid droplets (LDs), the core products of lipid metabolism, on the metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), need further exploration. In this study, the influence of palmitic acid (PA) and oleic acid (OA) on the migration and invasion ability of OSCC cells was determined by in vitro experiments.
