Published: August 2022

The transient receptor potential (TRP) family is a widely expressed superfamily of ion channels that regulate intracellular Ca homeostasis and signal transduction. Abnormal expression of TRPV1 is closely related to malignant tumors of the female reproductive system such as breast, ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancers. In this study, we found a significant reduction of TRPV1 expression in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and this expression is inversely association with the risk of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Furthermore, TRPV1 is involved in cell differentiation, iron death, inflammatory response, and metabolic regulation in cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Meanwhile TRPV1 is positively correlated with T cells and negatively associated with macrophages, indicating that TRPV is associated with tumor cell immunity. Therefore, TRPV1 may be a potential marker of cervical cancer and a promising anti-cancer drug candidate.

FAT1 knockdown enhances the CSC properties of HNSCC through p-CaMKII-mediated inactivation of the IFN pathway.

FAT atypical cadherin 1 (), which encodes an atypical cadherin-coding protein, has a high mutation rate and is commonly regarded as a tumor suppressor gene in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Nonetheless, the potential regulatory mechanisms by which FAT1 influences the progression of HNSCC remain unresolved. In this context, we reported that FAT1 was downregulated in tumor tissues/cells compared with normal tissues/cells and that it was correlated with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of HNSCC.

Killer Cell Lectin Like Receptor D1 (KLRD1) plays a crucial role in antitumor immunity. However, its expression patterns across various cancers, its relationship with patient prognosis, and its potential as an immunotherapy target remain inadequately understood. We analyzed KLRD1 expression across various cancer types using multi-omics data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, correlating it with patient prognosis.

HPV-associated Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) (HPV+ SNSCC) is a recently recognized entity that accounts for up to one-third of SNSCC. Although at present these cancers are not routinely tested for HPV, the incidence is increasing and HPV+ SNSCC is associated with superior survival outcomes compared with HPV- SNSCC. Here, we present the case of a patient with HPV+ SNSCC treated with endoscopic resection followed by postoperative radiation and review the literature summarizing epidemiology and management of this disease, with emphasis on the importance of HPV testing in SNSCC.
