Gene expression profiling of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)

ABSTRACT: According to epidemiological studies, a vast majority, approximately 80%~90% of male OSCC patients in Taiwan habitually drink alcohol (A), and chew betel quid (B), and use cigarette (C). To assess the impact of these dietary factors on the transcriptom, we conduct a high-throughput screen survey in an oral cancer cohort with exposure of A, B, and C. Results indicate several potential oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are dysregulated in OSCC patients with ABC risk factors. Total RNA was collected from tumor and non-tumor pair-wise samples. These biopsies were obtained from 40 male OSCC patients who regularly drink alcohol, chew areca nut and smoking.
